At the end of the 14th match day in 2.Bundesliga plays St. Pauli at home against Energie Cottbus. Both sides produced a lot of headlines in the past week because both fired their Coach. At Cottbus it was more understandable as in Hamburg where Coach Frontzeck must go surprisingly. For home side stands Frontzeck’s Co-Coach Vrabec on the sideline who gets the trust till the winter break. Nevertheless with a win they can climb up to fifth place but they should improve a lot as the performances maybe was well at home but the results are awful. They get not much so far in their stadium what is maybe their weak performance in front of the goal. On the other side hard task for the new man on the line Stephan Schmidt who was former Coach from Paderborn. He took over in Cottbus now but he has to do a lot of work and bring the team back on track after slid down to bottom of the table because the results was all against them at the weekend.
St. Pauli’s new Head Coach Vrabec announced that he wants to change not much and he made clear from beginning to build on the work of his former chief Michael Frontzeck. Only a few minimal changes but nothing worth to mentioned. Compared to the heavy 1-4 defeat to Kaiserslautern last weekend are no major changes expected. While in defense even everything should remain the same, could start in offensive Lennart Thy instead of Florian Kringe. Both, Thy and Bartels would in this case are the wingers and Marc Rzatkowski in a central role behind the lone striker which again is likely to be called Christopher Nöthe.
Unlike Vrabec the new Cottbus Coach Schmidt must change at least one compared to the 0-1 lose to Bochum. It is only because captain Uwe Möhrle got his fifth yellow card and is suspended now for this game. For him Julian Börner moves into central defense alongside Jurica Buljat. But Buljat is still a big question mark and has to face a late fitness test what should decide his use today. Should the Croatian player can not play according to his knee problems, Markus Brzenska could defend central and give his debut after over two years absent which injury in 2.Bundesliga again. Some alternative options might be Ivica Banovic for central back who has to move back from the midfield. In midfield Caoch Schmidt, meanwhile could chance a little. Instead of the last disappointing Steven Rivic would Eriks Jendrisek or Andre Fomitschow possible options on the left wing. Meanwhile Takyi will porbably get a chance against his former club despite very weak performances in the past matches. Therefore he has to improve a lot and help Cottbus for a better offensive play. Also helping should top striker Boubacar Sanogo to stop the series from 369 minutes from Cottbus without scoring a single goal.
