1. FC Kaiserslautern travels to Berlin to play Hertha BSC Saturday in a German second division match (Stars and Stripes)

1. FC Kaiserslautern travels to Berlin for a Saturday 1 p.m. game against Hertha. It will give them a first look this month at the city’s Olympic Stadium, where they will play Leverkusen in the German cup final on May 25.

But first the Red Devils, in 14th place in the table, need a win against 10th-place Hertha. A victory would guarantee FCK another year in the second division.

Kaiserslautern has 36 points going into the match. Braunschweig, a point less and Wiesbaden, in the 16th spot which qualifies for the relegation playoffs, has 32 points. Rostock with 31 points still has a chance to make it out of the cellar.

A Kaiserslautern tie or loss in Berlin, depending on how the other teams play, could bring the competition down to the wire, with the Red Devils playing Braunschweig at a sold-out Fritz Walter Stadium in the final match of the season on May 19.
