Kaiserslautern vs Dynamo Dresden
Germany – 2.Bundesliga
Date: Friday, 20 May 2022
Kick-off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: Fritz Walter Stadion.
Kaiserslautern will host Dynamo Dresden at Fritz Walter Stadion this Friday, in the first-leg of relegation final to secure a place in the second tier of German football.
Kaiserslautern completed 3.Liga coming at third on the standing with 63 points from 36 games. They won 18 times in the league while drew and lost 9 times each. They have the best conceding figures in the league with 27 while their own forwards managed to amass 56 in total.
The hosts won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 2-0 league losing effort in their last game against Viktoria Cologne. That was their third defeat in a row which ultimately cost them an automatic promotion to 2.Bundesliga. Over their last 6 matches, Kaiserslautern have seen their goal breached in 6 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those matches.
On the other hand, Dynamo Dresden resides at the 16th position on 2.Bundesliga table with 32 points. Of the 34 matches played, they won 7 times in the league while drew on 11 and lost on 16 other occasions. They had an awful run at the second half of the season going winless in 16 games which is still continuing so far.
Dresden lost their previous league fixture by 1-0 against Aue who had already been relegated. They have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 8 goals in total. The visitors needed only 9 more points to escape this Play off stress which they have bottled earlier.
Kaiserslautern has been impressive at home this season winning 12 out of the 18 home games. They have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 6 home games across all competitions indicating their scoring capability.
Meanwhile, Dynamo Dresden are on a pathetic 16-game winless run in the league. They lost 52% of the away games this season and has won only twice. On average, they have allowed 1.65 goals in their recent away games in all competitions.
By the looks of things, expect a victory for the hosts this Friday.
