Kaiserslautern had a relatively stable season under Torsten Lieberknecht in the 2025/26 season. The two teams will contest for three points in the first Topspiel of the new 2. Bundesliga season. Former St. Pauli center-back Hauke Wahl is the captain of the side in the absence of Maximilian Arnold and Christian Eriksen.
As expected, Wolfsburg started 18-year-old goalkeeper Jakub Zielinski, while there are seven new signings in their starting XI. On the contrary, Kaiserslautern only have defenders Jacob Rasmussen and Jan Elvedi in their lineup from the players they signed this summer.
