1860 München - SC Paderborn

After coach Maurer was fired, U23 coach Schmidt took over and he made a good job as the team played much better as under his former coach. Above all he brought some new faces in the team as 4 of his well known squad from second team was in squad for first team against Union. With Wannewetsch, Maier, Ziereis and Wood he has some options more but what is wondering a bit he count on them immediately and they played all if from beginning or as substitute. With Paderborn and Aalen they have two important matches ahead if they want to climb in the table and get closer to the promotion places they have to win this matches. Sure it would be not an easy task and the pressure is additional there. Central midfielder Markos who was supsended on Saturday is back but if Schmidt count on him today is not decided. And in defensive he made some changes as with Schindler, Nicu, Maier and Wannewetsch instead of Aygün, FEick, Makos and Bülow. That he change again his starting lineup in defensive is unlikely to occur. In the offensive Halfar, Stoppelkamp iss et as starters while Maier could not convince and maybe will be replaced by Ziereis who played very well in second half against Union.

Paderborn are on a 9 matches unbeaten run and they want to continue this and their changes should be not such bad as 1860 must play forward and Paderborn likes to play more a defensive and safe style and go over their counter attacks. Till now, they were always able to score at least a goal away from home and they are also very hard to beat but if their opponent scored twice it is almost done for them. According to their defensive problems as with Palionios and Wemmer are two important guys out coach Schmidt tried youngster Ziegler as back wing but he failed huge, for him played Ornatelli the second half and he did a good job so far that he will be starting today. Some others are also not available as Krösche who is out with an infect, Meha with knee problems, and Naki has thigh problems. In this case not many alternatives left and they have to fight big, if they want to get something here.
