Frank Schmidt sees it similarly. “We’re going to have a high level of intensity and a lot of offensive power,” believes the 48-year-old, who sees this as an opportunity. “But there will be room for us and we have to try to take advantage of our chances,” said the FCH coach. Basically, the guests go into the game after the last coup against Werder with a big chest. “We showed against Bremen that we can stand up to a very strong opponent in a game with our resources,” Schmidt said.

Timo Schultz expects his eleven to go hard in the first home game in front of a full house in over two years. “Heidenheim has a physically strong team that has been sprinting the most for years and has excellent duels on the ground and in the air,” analyzed the home team’s coach. “We know that an extreme force is coming and a team that is 100 percent compact in all phases of the game and also puts in an immense amount of effort,” said Schultz, who is already certain of one thing for today’s game: ” It’s going to crack.”

Both teams manage without major changes in terms of personnel. At Aue, everything is left unchanged after the win in the last game, there is only one change on the KSC side. Cueto is in for Schleusener.

The KSC on the other hand seems to be playing for the golden pineapple this season. However, so that this is finally the case and you shouldn’t have anything to do with relegation, you should of course win today. KSC also played their last game against Regensburg and secured a 1-1 draw there.

17th place, already eight points behind the relegation place. These are dark times at Erzgebirge Aue. The hosts have their backs to the wall after 27 matchdays. However, Pavel Dotchev’s side have improved recently, taking four points from their last two games. The 1-0 win against Jahn Regensburg was encouraging. However, the game against HSV was canceled so that Auer could not quite keep up her momentum. Nevertheless, that must be the goal today.

Regarding the staff: There is only one change for the hosts compared to last week. Eric Smith replaces Christopher Buchtmann (bench) in midfield. Guest coach Frank Schmidt has to rotate significantly more. Marnon Busch is out due to a red card suspension, while Jonas Föhrenbach and Kevin Sessa are not in the squad through injury. In addition, the ailing Jan Schöppner slips onto the bench. New in the starting XI are Patrick Mainka, Dženis Burnić, Andreas Geipl and Marvin Rittmüller.

Good evening and welcome to the 2nd Bundesliga. Today, Friday, the 27th match day opens in Germany’s second highest division. At 6:30 p.m., Erzgebirge Aue meets Karlsruher SC.

For the guests from Heidenheim, the topic of promotion was pretty much over after four games in a row without a win. With the 2-1 win against Werder Bremen last weekend, the Baden-Württembergers have put themselves back in position and now have it in their own hands to reduce the gap in third place to three points with a win against St. Pauli. It should be the last chance for the guests to attack again at the top.

After the surprising 3-0 loss to Hannover four weeks ago, the Kiezkicker quickly stabilized again and underpinned their position as a candidate for promotion. St. Pauli have won seven games from the last three games. After victories against Ingolstadt and Karlsruhe, Hamburg did not get more than a 1-1 draw at the Kellerkind in Dresden last weekend. Four goals from aluminum prevented a possible away win for Timo Schultz’s team, who are tied on points behind leaders Darmstadt in second place before this matchday.
