Here meet two teams each other which was hoping for much more before the Season but the reality is different. Both had a hard start while Union did a bit better with 7 Points from 8 matches but disappointed a lot so far and changed already their Coach. MSV is nothing right now with only 2 Points on their side and they are at the bottom. They are coming to Berlin with 0 Points on the road and also 0-7 goals, what speak not for them at the moment.
After Union changed their Coach they started really well with Lewandowski on the sideline and a 3-0 win to Karlsruhe. The next two matches they took two times the lead but could not win these matches, no they lost both to Fürth 1-2 at home and 2-3 in Frankfurt to FSV. Lewandowski said that he was not very pleased with the last two games and he saw some things which were not so positive in their play but also some good things are there but overall the next step is far away. If the results do not come in our sport you have not arguments and it is an absolutely result sport, nothing more and nothing less. Therefore this game is an important encounter for Union and a must win game too.
It looks like that they have an problem on the left back wing because with Schönheim is a player out maybe till January while Parensen got injured in Frankfurt and is out some weeks too. For this reason Lewandowski is thinking to field only 3 mens in the back what was the case under Düwel already. The guys which are preferred are Puncec, Leistner and Kessel who must jump one position back from offensive to defensive but should be not a problem at all. In this case can play Trimmel the offensive part but it is also if the Coach trust Skrzybski and his defensive work. Otherwise Trimmel is also an option for the other wing and Korte plays then the part on the other side. In central midfield he has some options with Fürstner or Zejnullahu who can play beside Kreilach there. In offensive it is all up to him what he wants to field as with striker Wood he has some alternatives beside him with Brandy, Quaner and Skrzybski.
Far away from good was MSV under the week against Braunschweig 0-5 and they showed nothing what allow some hope here. Sport Manager Grlic said that this is the last chance for Coach Lettieri, if he fails again and get nothing out of this game they fire him for sure. They are winless so far and they have to deliver results according to their bad situation. Nevertheless Lettieri is very positive before the game today. He said that they have watched the second half against Braunschweig with the team again and spoke a lot about their mistakes and what they can do better in some situations. The first half was ok and they want to find the right way to bring this performance on the pitch.
But who should play? They have almost none of the players ready. They miss with Bröker, Janjic, De Wit, Poggenberg, Brandstetter and Wiegel already 6 players but additional to these guys coming 3 suspended players with Feltscher, Holland and Albutat. Overall 9 players must be replaced what is not the best situation but they know this already from beginning on and maybe it is not much possible right now with all the absent players. With Obinna they have an player ready who got the playing license short before the game against Braunschweig and he played there already. The second new signing Chanturia is not ready for this game who was signed this week.
Compared to the game on wednesday they have with Feltscher and Holland two guys from starting lineup out. They must be replaced but who could? Maybe the offensive Bohl move back and plays defensive now while Grote comes into the starting lineup and plays offensive. Also Scheidhauer can be an option there but he has a lot of problems with muscle lately. Instead of Holland can play Hajri who is shortly back from injury and can not be at 100%.
Very interesting game, both teams have a lot of problems. Union is winless at home, MSV is winless in 8 matches but the problems from MSV are incredible above all all the missing players and he has to field every time a new lineup and also players have to play positions they never played before. If Union can not use this today they never get a better chance to win a home game against an opponent who is in an insecure position and have no self confidence additionally. Union did not lose one of the last 6 against MSV (4-2-0).
PICK: Union Berlin AHC -0,75 @ 1,87 (3 Units / Flat Stake)
