[Overs]

It sounds like you're able to watch all of these matches on TV? Or are you reading match reports?

Wish there was a site that offers reports in English for the lower leagues.

I'm able to watch the games but have to pay for it. But there are reports on the games on TV of course and also the oppinion of analysts in match reports can be handy.

To let translate the German reports in English automatically probably gives out a mess, right?

Kaiserslautern @ 2.75 stan james 4/10

Home odds are surprisingly high and don't consider the current shape of the teams it seems. Of course it can't be said much about league games yet but Nürnberg have been struggling for weeks now in numerous games what Ive said often enough. Regarding the players, I still rate Nürnberg slightly higher than Lautern but what does this help if the team as a whole is not working. The 2-1 over Augsburg for reason rather made the FCN supporters angry as the attack is a lame one. Last season, efficiency was the big problem but nowadays Nürnberg hardly come to chances even. Vittek is far away from his actual strength, Eigler probably will replace him who looks more promising just like the recent signing Boakye. Mintal already played better football just like Engelhardt whose alternative tomorrow is Kluge. With the injury of captain Wolf, the lack of defenders became obvious, now the unfit Abardonado has the best cards to play instead. Kaiserslautern on the other side have been playing with much more drive and wil and the come back in Mainz gave them a push for sure. And they've signed Paljic (Hoffenheim) and Sam (Hamburg) this week for offence who might give their debut yet. So the out of important Simpson can be compensated. With Dzaka in addition and Jendrisek with 2 goals yet, the attack is looking fair enough. I'll try to exploit these odds going straight on the home team, last nine games between these two didn't end in a draw besides. My only worry is that K'lautern didn't win any of their last six Monday games in previous season.

You're very lucky to live in a futbol-friendly country, that's for sure. I've tried a few web translators, but none worked very well, so instead, I look at your reports each weekend! :o)

I can imagine that football still gets discriminated in the US!

I use to reflect the last game in a short way in my reports. I should make that a little longer when it helps the people.

Essential missings are defender Abel and midfielder Simpson on the home side, for Nürnberg the defenders A. Wolf and Spiranovic are out.

[Vincent]

1. FC Kaiserslautern
Sippel - Dick, Ouattara, Amedick, Bellinghausen - Reghecampf, Kotysch, Dzaka, Paljic - Lakic, Ziemer

1. FC Nürnberg
R. Schäfer - Breska, Abardonado, Goncalves, Pinola - Mnari - Gygax, Kluge - Masmanidis - Eigler, Boakye

possible line ups for tonight; but its quiet sure that Lautern will start with 2 strikers...personal i think that we will see at least 3 goals

Why you wanna use a webtranslator and for what? McFly posting in english and the official us language is also english... don´t understand it..

Kaiserslautern - Nurnberg

my first impression was a draw here. It´s monday,both are not bad and the,for me, weaker team starts at home. Kaiserslautern has some injury problems so far.

Abel,Bugera,Lamprecht and Josh Simpson are sidelined for Kaiserslautern with injuries. That´s what the official team website said. And I can´t imagine that Sasic will start with Lakic again. He had a 5.0 (kicker notes) in the first game. His setin in the 2nd half was Jendrisek with 2 goals in the end much better than Lakic.In my opinion Lakic is overrated. He made in the last season only one match for his former club Hertha Berlin. He was substituted in the 73th minute versus Berlin,played 17 minutes for Hertha in the whole last season.

some facts:

over/under L10:
Kaiserlaustern 6:4
Nurnberg:4:6

balance L10:
Kaiserslautern: 4-3-3
Nurnberg: 4-3-3

Kaiserslautern at home last season:
6-5-6 21:16 23 points 15th place [relegated in the home ladder]

Nurnberg away last season:
2-3-12 14:33 goals 9 points 17th place [relegated in away ladder]

Kaiserslautern[last season]
...with the fewest goals for at home (21)
...with the 4th fewest home points (23)

Nurnberg[last season]
...with the fewest away points (9)
...with the most away defeats in Bundesliga (12)
...with the second fewest away wins (2)

hard to predict...

[Vincent]

but these are stats from the last season...don't think that this comparable, also K'lautern fields a (half) new team...and if you saw the match against Mainz last weeek, it seems that there is a very high morality, to come back after 0:3 at HT...

[retafo]

I would agree that the coach of Kaiserlslautern and perhabs also KUntz created a new team with at least a good moral and fighting spirit but i still have my doubts about the quality of the team. They archived mixed results during hte pre season.

Nürnberg clearly has more quality in their team but is far away from being convinsing. I think the odds are fair where a motivated home team meets a overall better guest team that still has to show their quality.

A very tough match to call

[nicko]

My usual Over - after reading all posts here, game looks to me 2-1 both teams, 2-2...
Good luck

TBH I have no good idea how it got to 2-0 at HT, both teams were nervous at the start. FCN simply created nothing except for a pathetic shot by Pinola. Hosts want the points more and well deserve the lead, despite the fact that both goals were terrible defending mistakes, incl. the one after the free kick.
Home win, Over, high-scoring draw are all good to me now, but if guests do not go with more people forward I rather see my Over completed by hosts. It is not that Lautern look that good though....

If you are into Overs, keep in eye on Allthethings' thread in Strategies section, Best priced Overs. I often oppose him or do different picks, but the idea altogether is good. This particular game last night was a lucky one, saw the whole thing, it was like a tough Crystal Palace - Bristol City game, could have easily gone well Under. Will be very careful with both teams in future, and especially FCN - slow, toothless...Funny enough, Mintal could have levelled it in the end.

U can catch or german 1 and 2 games on bwin.

And I can´t imagine that Sasic will start with Lakic again. He had a 5.0 (kicker notes) in the first game. His setin in the 2nd half was Jendrisek with 2 goals in the end much better than Lakic.In my opinion Lakic is overrated. He made in the last season only one match for his former club Hertha Berlin. He was substituted in the 73th minute versus Berlin,played 17 minutes for Hertha in the whole last season.

Sasic started with Jendrisek and he was the best player on the court imo. Lakic came in the end and shown nothing.
