Fortuna Düsseldorf - Erzgebirge Aue

This encounter includes different teams because Düsseldorf is only 2 Points behind the top 3 and in promotion battle while Aue was on the bottom but with the win against Leipzig they climbed a bit but they are not out of the red zone but got a lot of self confidence back and with a win here they can push them out.

To the start into league matches 2015 Düsseldorf played the top match in Karlsruhe and they were able to collect a Point there. It was a deserved one but they has the main focus only on defensive work and let the offense sleep. Of course they did a great job because they played long time with only 10 men after DEF Tah was sent off. They started again with three mens in central back but this time they must change to the normal practiced back line because with both central defenders Tah and Soares out suspended they have a big problem there and Coach Reck must find the right players and balance there for today. With Bomheuer and Bodzek he wants to build up the central back. In central midfield he has to choose between long term injured Fink who is back but his partner Gartner is injured and behind Pinto stands a big question mark, if he must pass, veteran Lampertz or Bellinghausen are the options there. They need a lot more power in offensive play according to the last road match above all at home. Coach Reck counts here on Liendl who should be supported by Halloran, Erat or Bolly.

Aue’s Coach Stipic signed a new contract till 2017, this was the next big sign from the Management in relegation battle after they made all wishes possible for Stipic with 8 new winter signings. The things are clear now and Stipic handle the pressure well and gave his team a new balance what was seen in the last home game against Leipzig with a 2-0 win. This gave a lot of self confidence and motivation back for the big fight against relegation. All know the situation and they are doing well together. They do not only fight football, no, they have some good passing sections in their play as well and the new formed offensive line showed this already. Duo to the suspension from Novikovas Stipic must find a new guy who starts. There are some options right now with Kortzorg or Müller who plays this part 1to1 or he move back to a more defensive minded style away from home with two central midfield players. In this case Benatelli or Schröder are options beside Schönfeld in central midfield. All the other positions remain unchanged after the great play against Leipzig.

After 13 duels the record speaks clear for Düsseldorf with 8 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. In their own Arena they are 5-1-0 in 6 matches against Aue. The last home matches was won easy with 4-0 while the first duel this season 3-0. It looks that Düsseldorf loves to play Aue !!!
