Erzgebirge Aue - SV Sandhausen

Although both teams are relegation candidates as most of the experts expected them at the bottom of the table they started both without a lose. Sandhausen got a point at home against Aalen while Aue started very well with a win in Ingolstadt but they got a lot of help from Ingolstadt's midfielder Morales who made two big mistakes which Sylvestr used to his two goals. Kick off time is not very good because it is very very hot at the moment in Germany and we have 30+ degrees. So This can be a very tight match for both.

Coach Götz could not field his last winning lineup, no he must change. Ok, Kirchstein who won the fight against Männel is back and ready again after his head injury against Ingolstadt and should be in starting lineup what puts Männel on the bench. But the suspended Novikovas is out for today after receiving two yellow cards against Ingolstadt and for the second the following red. First alternative can be Kocer but also Miatke can be in and at this position as well. On the good 4-2-3-1 system from Götz they want to count again because they did well and so the team like this with one striker Sylvestr and Janjic behind of him. The others are more defensive minded and should help to hold their opponent away from dangerous situations.

Sandhausen do not know after their 0-0 against Aalen where they stand at the moment because they were relegated but only due to Duisburg got no license for 2.Bundesliga they are in again. They changed a lot in their team and this is not all done without any problems. They need still time to know each other better or know the running ways from all team mates. A lot of work to do for Coach Schwartz but he is very confident that they are much better as last season. It was a gift for them that they play in 2.Bundesliga again. In offensive they had the bigger problems against Aalen, there was a lot of mistakes and they played without any pressure and created almost nothing. For the future they hope that Jovanovic can help but he is not at 100% at the moment after coming from Duisburg. Defensive looked well and so they should have a chance here.
