The friendly match between Kaiserslautern and Norwich City will take place at Fritz-Walter-Stadion on Saturday at 5:30 pm IST.
Norwich City aims to maintain their unbeaten record in pre-season as they face Kaiserslautern on Saturday. On the other hand, Kaiserslautern is looking to enhance their preparations for the upcoming season in the 2. Bundesliga.
Darmstadt enjoyed promotion to the Bundesliga last season, while Kaiserslautern settled for a mid-table position in the second tier, winning only 11 out of 34 matches. Nonetheless, it was a respectable outcome for Kaiserslautern in their first season back at that level following promotion in 2021-22. Manager Dirk Schuster aims to build on their achievements and work towards restoring the club’s former top-flight status. In June, Kaiserslautern played two international friendlies in the United States, defeating Louisville City FC but losing 2-1 to Minnesota United.
Despite concerns following their poor finish last season, Norwich City fans now have reasons to be optimistic about their progress under David Wagner. After a 1-1 draw against Barnet, they secured victories over King’s Lynn Town (6-1) and Darmstadt 98 (1-0) in pre-season friendlies. Defeating a Bundesliga team on German soil, with Marcelino Nunez scoring the only goal, was an impressive achievement. Wagner fielded a strong lineup but also provided playing time for 20 outfield players, indicating improved squad depth. Although tougher tests lie ahead, Wagner aims to maintain the positive momentum established since the resumption of play.
Kaiserslautern probable starting lineup: Luthe, Elvedi, Puchacz, Tomiak, Zimmer, Klement, Niehues, Opoku, Redondo, Boyd, Ritter
Norwich City probable starting lineup: Krul, Stacey, Duffy, Omobamidele, Giannoulis, Gibbs, Sorensen, Nunez, Hernandez, Rowe, Barnes
