The guests from Sandhausen used the long mandatory break to prepare for the basement duel against Erzgebirge Aue and celebrated a very important 2-0 win against the violets on Saturday. The lead on rank 17 is now five points and it’s your turn on the non-relegation places. Even with a draw you would overtake Fortuna Düsseldorf. There is also a spirit of optimism at the SVS. “We’re going into the English week with three points,” said Alois Schwartz happily, adding: “That makes us happy and we’re going into the next few games with stability.” When he returns to Karlsruhe, Schwartz expects a confident opponent: “KSC is solid and will try to follow through with their game against us.”

Despite the sometimes tense personnel situation in 2022, the home side have sold well so far. At the top of the table in Darmstadt, KSC got hold of a 2:2, at third in the table in Bremen they were only narrowly beaten with 1:2. And in between, a 1-0 win at 1860 Munich also made it into the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup. “We played against a top team in the league and showed that we could keep up physically,” said coach Christian Eichner after Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Bremen. Now it’s against ex-KSC coach Alois Schwartz. “We know what’s coming,” believes Eichner.

Let’s take a look at the line-ups: There are three changes at KSC compared to the weekend. Christoph Kobald is out due to a yellow card suspension, Tim Breithaupt and Fabian Schleusener are rotated to the bench. But the hosts are making a remarkable comeback today. Benjamin Goller is back in the squad after eight months and is in the starting XI. Daniel Gordon and Marc Lorenz also start. There are two changes for the guests. Erich Berko and Erik Zenga start for Marcel Ritzmaier (bank) and Christian Kinsombi (not in the squad).

Actually, this game should have started in January, but due to the Corona situation at KSC, the game was canceled by the DFL. A total of 16 Baden players were affected by the virus at the time and it was not possible to have a team for the duel with Sandhausen. Two weeks later than planned, the game can finally rise.
