Union Berlin - Jahn Regensburg

After 4 matches without a win and very bad performances Union Coach Neuhaus was very angry of his team. They talked a lot this week and they know now that the season is not to end for them. They have still 4 matches to play and they should try to get the credit from their fans back. In addition Neuhaus pushed a lot in training and the players saw that they are not on vacation already. The week was very hard for them but maybe important to weak up some. On the other side bottom team Regensburg was very weak in the past too and they made a lot of mistakes as always and they could only win a single match in second half of the season so far. Therefore they are one of the first relegated teams, with only a point today they are down. With a win they have to wait but I doubt about that.

A lot of changes are expected as a lot of players could not convince against Aalen where they lost 0-3 and looked very weak at this time of the season. 3-4 players move out of the team and some new once come in and get a chance today. Most probably plays Stuff and Schönheim on central back while Parensen get the position in defensive midfield. Also Quiring is an option as fast wing while Terodde and Nemec are the striker pair. Nevertheless they have to push today and should try to get the 3 points as they are maybe get a lot of trouble with their fans if they lose against the bottom side.

Maybe it looks a bit better for Jahn Regensburg before the match against Union. Sure they have a lot of missings (Rahn, Djuricic, Lauritio, Kotzke, Kurz, Machado) again but with Altinay and Nachreiner return two players who should be in starting lineup immediately. Both can take their positions in defensive row and give coach Smuda a bit hope that he can field a stronger eleven as in the past. Also important is that Hein can go back to his position in central midfield where he can give the team much more stability while Haag should replace Machado on the wing.
