Fürth (dpa / lby) – Greuther Fürth’s coach Alexander Zorniger has great respect for the atmosphere at the upcoming second division opponent 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Zorniger spoke of a “highlight” at the press conference on Thursday. “The Betzenberg is one of the places of worship in German football,” said the 55-year-old. Almost 40,000 spectators are expected on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky) in the Fritz Walter Stadium.

“They have a good squad, young players, speed, experienced players, tackle players,” said Zorniger about 1. FC Kaiserslautern. Striker Terrence Boyd is even one of “the most influential target players up front” who can ignite fire.

The Franconians won only one game abroad this season. They have to do without Max Christiansen and Marco John on Saturday.
