Kaiserslautern travels to Braunschweig for a second division match at 1 p.m. on Saturday. (1. FC Kaiserslautern)

The Red Devils are in Braunschweig on Saturday for a 1 p.m. game against Eintracht. It is the 30th week of the season, leaving the team five games to grab third place and the chance to qualify for a playoff to the Bundesliga.

Coming off two straight losses, 1. FC Kaiserslautern is in sixth place, with 46 points, one point behind third-place Elversberg. Between the two are Düsseldorf and Magdeburg.

Paderborn, Nuremberg, Hannover, and Karlsruhe are right behind FCK, but still in striking distance for third place. At the moment, Hamburg and Cologne lead the second division, five and four points ahead of Elversberg, respectively.

Eintracht is on the other end of the scale, in 15th place, trying to stay above the relegation line to the third division. But the team’s last two games can give them hope as they beat Paderborn and Hamburg. So, Kaiserslautern should be warned that in Bundesliga 2, position in the standings is not an indicator who will win.

One thing is clear, the Red Devils need to convert their scoring possibilities, unlike last weekend against Nuremberg, where they had 12 shots on target, but only scored on a penalty.

FCK returns to Fritz Walter Stadium on April 27 for a 1:30 p.m. match against Schalke 04.
