Greuther Fürth - Erzgebirge Aue

The begin was very good for Fürth into the season but in the past they were not able to get much, only four Points from the last four matches. It is more that they are very weak away from home and they are winless on the road but at home they are very hard to beat and they play a powerful football there. Their opponent started very weak into the season but after they fired Coach Götz and unknown Stipic took over they lost the first game under him in Darmstadt but the following they had success and got 7 Points from the last three matches. Therefore they want continue the run but also Fürth want to get back on track and get closer to the top places.

The derby defeat in Munich was huge for Fürth, they lost not only 0-2 there, no they lost also their keeper with broken hand. He is not available for the next weeks and his replacement is Mickel now. They signed a new keeper under the week but he is only on bench today. Maybe he is an option for the next weeks too. It is not much to change the keeper position is a must change according to the injury but the other positions remain the same as in last game. Only Guliherme was very weak what gives Gießelmann the opportunity to return into the starting lineup after sitting on bench against 1860.

On Aue's side Coach Stipic has not reasons to change the successful team from the past matches. They did a good job and won 1-0 against Aalen what was an important win for them and they continue the uptrend what is shown under new Coach Stipic. He trust again the same lineup and hope that they can get here some. The system is 4-2-3-1 with the only attacker Löning but with Könnecke behind him and maybe he can move forward into attack if they have the ball or go back if they have to defend. Also Kortzorg is in good shape and they hope that he can bring a lot of dangerous actions over the wing again.

The uptrend from Aue is there, of course but they won against teams who are at the same level like they are. The draw in Ingolstadt was lucky because Ingolstadt waste a lot but it was well known as Coach Stipic worked there before he gets the job in Aue. He was head coach from the U23 team. Nevertheless Fürth has the must stronger team and much better players in their rows what should be seen on the pitch and on result wise too.
