Dynamo Dresden - Energie Cottbus

The situation getting is worse for Dynamo Dresden, sure they got 4 points out of their last two matches but Bochum with their new Coach Neururer managed to win two times now and this open the gap to 4 points. This means that they are absolutely under pressure today, as they have to win this if they want to get a chance to leave place 16 what means two qualifying matches additional. And for sure a lot of pressure more in these two matches. Maybe some think that they have the right opponent because Cottbus plays for nothing, they are safe, 9 points to third place and 12 points to the red zone what means all impossible to reach for them. Of course they want not to bring some gifts to Dresden, this is a east derby and they want to win this for their fans. Also what no one knows, it is very important in 2.Bundesliga what place you get in the end ... better place more TV money !!!

Ok, Dresden was able to get some points but their offensive is very weak, many times this season they were not able to score or get it done although they created very good situations. Maybe they miss their top striker Pote more as they want to believe. It is not out yet if Pacult change some, but Jänicke as wing was very bad against Union and should be on bench again while Kempe should get a chance or he wants to play with two strikers where Fort plays beside young Müller. Defensive looked well in the past matches and so no need to change something. All is possible and I said it already, Dresden must win and they have to risk some here. 

Cottbus with some problems in defensive but their offensive is also a big questionmark. They scored only 7 goals in second half of the season and this said all. If you look on the table you know now why they fall down huge. At winter break they were in the race of promotion but missed all in second half and this was also because their top striker Sanogo is absolutely out of form and he scored less till nothing. Fast wing Farina can move in the team and help to play a good counter style today. Unlike the offensive the defensive can be the same as against Bochum. They conceded two goals but this were only due to their unlucky actions with an own goal and a counter goal as they opened a lot.
