by Thobelani Moyo in 2nd Bundesliga Predictions
Two promotion hopefuls Koln and Kaiserslautern are set to lock horns at RheinEnergieSTADION on matchday 34 in the 2. Bundesliga. Koln are in second place in the league standings, while Kaiserslautern are in 6th place. Here's our match prediction.
Koln are in a delicate position in the 2. Bundesliga standings. They are in second place with 58 points. Dropping three points here could see them fall as low as 4th place, missing out on promotion to the Bundesliga.
The Billy Goats were on a two-match winless run in the league. They lost to Hannover (1-0) and were held to a 1-1 home draw against basement boys Jahn Regensburg. This led to the sacking of head coach Gerhard Struber.
Friedhelm Funkel is at the helm, and the promotion specialist made an immediate impact in his first game in charge. He secured a 2-1 away win against Nuremberg on Friday.
Kaiserslautern are very much in the race for securing a promotion play-off spot. They are three points behind the desired spot in the league standings.
The Red Devils have been a tough side to beat in recent weeks. After losing three straight, they are unbeaten in three league games heading into this clash (W2, D1).
In their most recent league game, they came from a goal down to beat Darmstadt 2-1 at home thanks to goals from Marlon Ritter and Ragnar Ache.
