Football Tips: Kaiserslautern vs. Elversberg
Friday is all about the start of the Bundesliga season, and my colleague Kevin has written another interesting article. I will now take a look at a 2. Liga game that you can watch before the Werder-Bayern game. I think Kaiserslautern should be back in the Bundesliga and who knows, maybe they will be this year. Elversberg are playing their first year in the 2. Bundesliga for the first time and their goal is to stay up.

Kaiserslautern with the first three points of the season?
This is a question I will answer with a "yes" today, because I am assuming that the hosts will prevail in the venerable Fritz-Walter-Stadion. Their two previous opponents, St. Pauli and Schalke, have been very difficult to deal with, and the 3-0 defeat against Schalke was more lopsided than it might seem. Goalkeeper Luthe saw red in the 39th minute and another player was sent off in the second half. I am not going to praise that, but despite the circumstances, we did not let ourselves be beaten by Schalke. We then ran out 5-0 winners in the cup, a result that will go some way to boosting our confidence.

Elversberg still without a win
The Saarlanders are also yet to win a game and were knocked out of the Pokal by Mainz. They have put up a good fight there, which I will not deny. However, I think the newcomers will have a tough year in the second division, and their squad still has a lot of room for improvement. Elversberg have done well so far, but the away game in Lautern will be another tough one.

My prediction for FCK vs SVE
A home win is priced at 2.23, and I think the value of this one is quite high. Terrence Boyd is one of the best strikers in the league - against whom the author of this article once played in youth - and there are also some players with a lot of 2. League experience. Luthe is out due to his suspension, which will certainly have an impact on the odds. I assume that Lautern will get their first three points in front of their home crowd and that they will dominate from the first minute in a great game on the Betzenberg.

Bet: Kaiserslautern wins

The best odds are with bet-at-home: 2,23
