Best Tip: Both teams to score

Here is a pair of effective, attacking groups going head-to-head and, as such, we are predicting both of them to score at least 1 goal during the 90 minutes. Can respective managers Torsten Lieberknecht or Florian Kohfeldt find a tactical plan to top their opponent? Latest form statistics and historical head-to-heads, as well as the latest odds from the bookies, show that doesn't seem likely.

Goal Statistics

1. FC Kaiserslautern's fans will be hoping for goals on Saturday lunch time, not least because SV Darmstadt 98 have conceded in each of their last 12 Bundesliga 2 outings. A PG of 1.7 for T. Lieberknecht's side suggests that run should continue.

1. FC Kaiserslautern's defensive record is to be admired, T. Lieberknecht's men having conceded 1 or less in 6 consecutive Bundesliga 2 matches. An average PG rating of 1.3 for SV Darmstadt 98 makes sense in this context.
