The Red Devils will try to get back on track Saturday afternoon when they take on Jahn Regensburg at 1 p.m. at Fritz Walter Stadium.

Kaiserslautern is coming off a 3-0 loss to Hamburg last week that ended a five-game undefeated streak.

The start of the 24th week of play in the second division finds FCK in third place with 39 points, three behind league-leader Hamburg, but only one point ahead of Magdeburg, Düsseldorf, and Paderborn. Regensburg is in last place with 15 points.

The Red Devils and their fans are hoping that goal-getter Ragnar Ache comes out of his four-game scoring slump this weekend. The team has only scored once in its last three games.

Coach Markus Anfang has all his starters available, and 45,000-plus spectators are expected on the Betzenberg.

Some tickets are still available, high up in the stands on the east end of the stadium, on the team’s website.

The Red Devils are at home again next weekend when they host neighboring Elversberg Friday evening at 6:30 p.m.
