Mannheim vs FC KaiserslauternPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Waldhof Mannheim and Kaiserslautern meet at the Carl-Benz Stadion in a cup round with no table behind it. Their most recent duel, in February 2022, finished goalless; before that came another 0-0 with the venues reversed, then a 0-2 for the visitors and two 1-1 draws. Five meetings, six goals in total, never more than two in a single game. Mannheim come in from a 3-3 at Hansa Rostock, having earlier beaten Fortuna Dusseldorf 2-1 and lost 0-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt; further back sit two 4-1 wins over Triglav and Liefering. Kaiserslautern count three goalless draws in their last five, one with Karlsruher SC, one at Wolfsburg and one at Sudtirol, with a 3-1 win at Metz and a heavy 1-4 defeat by Mainz filling the gaps. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off.
