2:02 p.m
Ulm again gets a free kick, on the second attempt Dajaku crosses the ball from the left wing into the box, but Funk bravely comes out of the goal and intercepts the ball.
30.
2:01 p.m
The standard is becoming extremely dangerous! The cross from the baseline is extended to the second post, where Röser volleys, but Rorig is in the right position in the five-yard box and blocks the shot.
29.
13:59
The hosts attack well on the right wing, Brandt then takes a free kick on the baseline.
26.
13:56
That has to be 1-0 for the second-placed team! A corner is taken sharply into the five-yard box, in which three Cottbus players can freely go to the ball, in the end it is Campulka who heads the ball over the crossbar from very close range.
22.
13:54
The SSV is wasting a good opportunity to take the lead! Ciğerci loses the ball in midfield, Ulm can switch quickly, but plays it too complicated through Dajaku, in the end it doesn’t end up being particularly dangerous.
20.
13:52
This is the first good opportunity of the game and it now belongs to the guests. Ulm lost possession of the ball in their own half, Cottbus attacked via Ciğerci. With a bit of luck he pokes the ball into the box towards Thiele, whose shot is parried strongly by Ortag, who has jumped out. But then the flag goes up anyway.
18.
13:48
The flat cross is too harmless, Ulm can prevent any danger of scoring.
17.
13:47
Now Cottbus also gets the first corner after a blocked cross from Thiele. Maybe standards will bring a little breath of fresh air into the Cottbus attack.
15.
13:46
Now Cottbus has made the first approach. Ciğerci looks for Engelhardt with a great long pass, but it goes a little too long and ends up in the net.
14.
13:44
Ulm continues to have the better start and gets another corner. It slides through to the left wing, from where Brandt hits the ball sharply into the box. Cottbus can clarify at the last moment.
11.
13:42
Ulm is increasingly trying to play on the wings. First, Dajaku crosses the ball with his outside instep from the left wing onto Chessa’s head, who puts the ball next to the goal. A little later Scholze looks for Röser from the right, but the ball gets too close to the goal and lands at Funk.

13:38
The pace remains characterized by healthy toughness, referee Bacher has his hands full trying to calm people down a little.
5.
1:35 p.m
Things continue for Pelivan, Cottbus is complete again.
3.
13:34
The Sparrows then get the corner kick. The high cross is no problem for Funk in the five, in the background Pelivan falls to the ground because Röser hits him painfully in the ankle. The Cottbuser needs to be treated.

13:32
The ball rolls, Cottbus in red sets the tone when it comes to tackling, Ulm in white has the free kick early on the left in midfield.

Game start
1:00 p.m
Referee Michael Bacher will be in charge of the game today, supported by his assistants Julius Martenstein and Timo Klein. It starts in just under half an hour at the Danube Stadium in Ulm!
12:59
Compared to the last league game, both coaches decided to make three starting eleven changes today. Compared to the 4-1 defeat against Ingolstadt, the hosts today have Röser, Scholze and Westermeier preferred over Becker, Görlich and Löder, who initially take a seat on the bench. Cottbus coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz is starting Campulka, Hannemann and Thiele from the start today, but Awortwie-Grant, Boziaris and Tattermusch, who were allowed to start in the 3-2 win over Aachen, have to make way for them.
12:48
Even in the form check everything indicates that the guests are favoritism. In addition to one defeat, Cottbus secured four wins out of the last five games – so they have been on the road to success for three games without losing a point. The hosts, on the other hand, experience strong fluctuations in performance. In addition to two wins, there was also one draw and two defeats in the last five league games. However, one can at least see a glimmer of hope in the fact that both victories were achieved in the Donaustadion at home – the current venue.
12:43
The guests are superior to the Ulm team both offensively and defensively if you give a lot of importance to the statistics. In the case of the Sparrows, the number of goals conceded is too high with a record of 17:18 if you compare it with that of the top group. When it comes to energy, however, it’s all about the superlatives. With a goal difference of 24:14, they have the third best defense, but above all, despite playing one less game, they have the best offense in the league together with Hoffenheim II! Ulm’s somewhat vulnerable defense will probably have a lot to do today.
12:38
In today’s game, two teams with completely different starting positions meet. The SSV started the season well on average as a relegated team. After a few wins by their immediate neighbors in the table, they have now slipped to 14th place with 13 points from ten games. On the other hand, Cottbus – like last season – is at the top of the table and is currently in second place with 20 points, only the undefeated Duisburg team got off to a better start.
12:32
Welcome to the third division game between SSV Ulm 1846 and Energie Cottbus!
