Kaiserslautern once aspired to the top of the Bundesliga , and later sank to the Bundesliga due to various reasons. Now the team has started its climb again through the promotion play-offs. Kaiserslautern's overall performance in the German Bundesliga last season was pretty good, especially on the defensive end. Of course, this may also be related to the level of the league, but judging from the signings in the new season, they Still relatively confident on the defensive end, this summer window Kaiserslautern mainly strengthened the frontcourt, including signing Aue's second striker Zolinski and Dusseldorf Center Robin Robin and others, and promoted youngster Stavridis from the youth team. However, they also have eight players leaving the team this summer, including main goalkeeper Raab and main central defender Winkler. Judging from the two warm-up games in the preseason, the team has indeed achieved its goal of upgrading the lineup. At least their performance at home is still worth looking forward to.
Hannover 96's performance has steadily declined in the past few years since returning from the Bundesliga. Last season, it was even in the middle of the pack. However, in the new season, the team has at least shown some operational ambitions. In addition to changes in coaching positions, Hannover 96 96 also let go of many players, including last season's two top scorers, and then signed central defender Neumann, a former member of the German National Youth Team, from Kiel, and midfielder and backfield versatile Kunze from Bielefeld . Others also signed former Norwegian international Nelson, defensive midfielder Besushkov, goalkeeper Stahel, talented winger Foti who was loaned from Frankfurt echelon, etc., basically supplementing all positions. , which also shows the team's desire for change. Judging from the pre-season warm-up matches, although the team performed well on the offensive end, the defense still exposed some hidden dangers. They conceded a total of 3 goals against German C teams in 2 warm-up matches.
Although Kaiserslautern has a good reputation in the past, the team is now only a newly promoted team, and it is a newly promoted team that has been promoted through the play-offs. The visiting team Hannover 96 can be regarded as a veteran of the Bundesliga. Both sides have the same situation in the summer window. There are quite a few changes, and I believe the temptation of a good start to the season is not small for them. Judging from the warm-up performances of both sides in the preseason, this game is more willing to be a fan of the newly promoted Kaiserslautern. On the one hand, in the same offensive situation, it is obvious that Kaisers' defense is the better side. On the other hand, he Hannover did not get the favor they should have in some aspects.
