Kaiserslautern vs AS Roma Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendlies 2025

This will be the first-ever meeting between these sides.

Kaiserslautern are ready to take on AS Roma in a pre-season club friendly fixture. The interesting contest between these clubs is scheduled to take place at the Fritz-Walter-Stadium.

1. FC Kaiserslautern finished seventh in their 2. Bundesliga 2024-25 campaign. They were only able to produce average performances due to which they were unable to finish in the top five. As they take on Roma next, the Germany-based club will be looking to step up their game and come up with a unique set of plays.

AS Roma failed to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for the upcoming season as they finished fifth in Serie A 2024-25. But they will get to play in the Europa League. The Giallorossi are already training for the upcoming season, and it will be interesting to see them perform under Gian Piero Gasperini.

Kick-off:

• Location: Kaiserslautern, Germany
• Stadium: Fritz-Walter-Stadium
• Date: Saturday, July 26
• Kick-off Time: 21:30 IST/ 16:00 GMT/ 12:00 ET/ 09:00 PT

Pre-Season Form:

This is the first pre-season fixture for both teams.

Players to Watch

Ivan Prtajin (Kaiserslautern)

The 29-year-old Croatian forward is going to lead his side in the attacking front. He did not play many matches during 2024-25 for Union Berlin, but Ivan Prtajin is now with Kaiserslautern to prove his doubters wrong. Against the Serie A side Roma, he will be looking to step up and help his side by scoring a goal or two.

Evan Ferguson (Roma)

Evan Ferguson has now joined Serie A side AS Roma on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion. He is also the first player from Ireland to join the Giallorossi. The 20-year-old is going to play an important role for his squad going into the new season.

The young Irish player has good potential and is going to cause issues for the opponent’s defence.
