Kaiserslautern followed up their statement 2-1 win over Hannover with a composed 2-2 draw against Holstein Kiel last time out. The home side remains unbeaten so far this season, but they now face a tough test against a St. Pauli side who have promotion aspirations this term. St. Pauli were forced to settle for a point against Hannover in their last league game after going ahead in the fourth minute through Johannes Eggestein. Timo Schultz's side remains unbeaten heading into gameweek 3 and will fancy their chances here. 0:2
