SC Paderborn - SV Sandhausen

Both teams who meet each other today were very luck to advance in Cup against a 4.Division Team last weekend. Also both teams have 3 Points on their side after 2 games and they aiming for more this day. Of course I know, Sandhausen had two wins but they got 3 Points removed from the DFL before the Season due to some irregularity. If they had not this 3 Points lost due to this bad things they should be on top with Bochum and Freiburg with 6 Points. Nevertheless they want to walk on and hold their good record this Season with the next win in Paderborn.

The Coach from Paderborn was very offensive this week and he said that he wants the first home win against a defensive very strong team from Sandhausen. They failed first time against Bochum but they want to do it much better today. But they need to be patience to overcome high flying Sandhausen who is in good form right now. The squad should be almost the same because with Lakic and Bertels he missed only two guys injured but under the week he lost important captain and defender Hünemeier who left the club and signed a contract in England's Championship. The captain is not midfield player Bakalorz who should lead the team now. The open place in central back took Ruck already in Cup against Lübeck while Hoheneder was missed due to private things. Therefore it looks like that the same mates are starting today.

According to the last 2 games which both were won Coach Gellhaus plans no changes anyway. This means that he starts the third time with the same lineup what allow their high quality players in  offensive Stoppelkamp and Koc only a place on bench again.

Normally the team from Sandhausen stands more for good work in defensive and maybe some good counter attacks and less goals but this Season they turned things a bit and they won to begin with 3-1 in Braunschweig and in an shoot out at home 4-3 to Union. The advance in Cup against Bahlinger SC was lucky after penalty shoot out but they played long time with only 10 men because they captain Kulovits saw the red card. It looks like they have much more offensive power this Season compared to the last two. Although they are not so safe in defensive after losing their top keeper Riemann to Bochum maybe. Of course Coach Schwartz has to work with the guys he has available this Season and he made a good job so far. He demands self confidence from his players today to be an even and tough opponent for Paderborn. 

Comapred to the last game in Bahlingen Coach Schwartz can count again on Kulovits who is not suspended in league after his red card, also light injured Kosecki who was out at the break against Bahlingen is ready and also both Klingmann and Kratz. Both had some light injuries as well but they are ready and of course in the starting lineup. If there are no problems with injuries and so on Coach Schwartz can field the fourth time the same starting lineup. Players like Zillner, Thiede and Jovanovic are again on bench and they must wait for their chance although Jovanovic made some advertising against Union after he came in. Let's see what Coach Schwartz plans.
