Greuther Fürth - VfR Aalen

Last Saturday Fürth celebrated an important 2-1 win against Kaiserslautern what was very important to hold the contact to the top. They are coming from behind and managed the third win in their third game at home. Of course they want to continue this run while Aalen is more and more in downtrend. They were not able to win a single game from the last 4 and they got only 1 Point out of these matches. It is clear that they want to stop the downtrend but it is a high hurdle today.

A big surprise happened before the game against Kaiserslautern, where Coach Kramer let Schröck play on the left wing instead of the right. It is more as possible that this lineup is the same as on Saturday. Both Pledl and Schröck did their jobs and why should Coach Kramer change then. Despite the slight injury from striker Przybylko is he set to play today. Although Zulj is near the starting lineup and can hope that he is sooner or later an option for Coach Kramer in starting lineup. He has some arguments on his side and in the near future he is the man.

After the not expected 0-1 lose at home to Sandhausen Aalen travels to Fürth with some pressure already. But Coach Ruthenbeck has not a lot of personal to choose and therefore no alternatives at the moment. According to him has the second row not enough power and also less motivation to bring them in the right positon to play from beginning on. Nevertheless one or two changes are possible. With Junglas and Klauß some candidates are there to replace players like Ludwig who was a big disappointment on the wing against Sandhausen. Also the late signing Gjasula should be an option for the starting eleven to bring a bit more creativity and more idea in the midfield play and create more opportunities to score.

For me the situation is clear and the favorite Fürth should be a big hurdle for Aalen. They are normally a hard side to play but lost a bit their style of play in the past matches and the self confidence and motivation is missed there anyway. Fürth at home always good should be able to win this encounter.
