“We have a difficult task ahead of us. We are prepared, but we have to concentrate on delivering our performance,” says SGD coach Markus Anfang. The guests from the Saxon state capital want to return to the 2nd Bundesliga after a year in the 3rd division. Dynamo Dresden has been unbeaten for four games. In addition to victories against Waldhof Mannheim (2:1), SV Wehen Wiesbaden (3:1) and FSV Zwickau (1:0), there was a draw against SC Freiburg II (1:1). There is only one change compared to the Zwickau game: Michael Akoto starts for the suspended Niklas Hauptmann.

In the past few weeks, SV Meppen has made a remarkable comeback. After the 32nd match day, the Emslanders were at the bottom of the league with 24 points. There were then three wins against 1. FC Saarbrücken (1-0), SV Wehen Wiesbaden (2-1) and Rot-Weiss Essen (2-0). Most recently, a 2-2 draw against VfL Osnabrück. Meanwhile, the SVM is at 34 points, but the descent is dry – the rebellion came too late. Today, however, Ernst Middendorp’s team can annoy the next promotion favorite.

The hosts have already been safely relegated to the regional league. Hallescher FC’s 2-0 win over Rot-Weiss Essen sealed relegation on Saturday. For Dynamo Dresden, on the other hand, it is about promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga. A win is needed to overtake the competition from Wiesbaden, Saarbrücken and Osnabrück. In this way, Markus Anfang’s team would have direct promotion in their own hands on the last matchday in the home game against VfB Oldenburg.
