FC Hansa Rostock can improve fourth in the 3rd division with a win this evening in catch -up game at SpVgg Unterhaching and increase the pressure on the third in the table. FC Saarbrücken. However, the duel with the relegation could become more complicated than it suggests the classification.

Because since the Munich residents have the sad certainty of having to compete against opponents such as Ansbach, Burghausen or Buchbach in the regional league Bavaria in the coming season, the cutting back suddenly scores. Of the past five games, Unterhaching lost only one and, among other things, defied Rostock’s competitors for third place, Energie Cottbus, in 1-1.

Accordingly, the respect of Hansa coach Daniel Brinkmann is in front of the upcoming opponent, who “in principle can do everything he likes”, as the 39-year-old meant with a view to the fixed descent of Hachings.

This does not make it easier to prepare for today’s encounter (7 p.m., in the NDR LiveCenter with a full audio report): “I am happy when we fly back tomorrow and then have three points in our luggage. Until then we have to work a lot.”

Brinkmann is silent about the history of the catch -up game

The fact that Hansa has to contest an English week again in the season finale founds that the encounter of the 26th match day had been deducted from the DFB game management a few days before the scheduled schedule (March 2). The municipality of Unterhaching had blocked the stadium at short notice because the SpVgg had failed to revise the submitted security concept.

FC Hansa therefore lodged an administrative complaint against the dismissal of the duel, but which was dismissed by the DFB sports court. The Rostockers wanted to get the three points at the green table, but failed with this request.

With a view to the additional weekday game and the associated additional burden of his team, Brinkmann spoke several times of a “distortion of betting”. In the press conference before the catch -up game on Tuesday, the coach no longer lost a word about the history of the encounter.

Hansa pulls out the right teachings Sandhausen game?

Instead, the 39-year-old raised the warning index finger several times. “Unterhaching has been tackled the last games quite well. It will be important that we notice that we want it more than the opponent. And that you can break an opponent who is in such a situation.

How difficult duels with teams from the deepest table cellar could be only felt his protégés last Saturday when they had a hard time at SV Sandhausen for 45 minutes. The result of a driving appearance was a sermon from Brinkmann. “I was very clear in what I said to the boys. And the boys then implemented it very well,” said the coach.

After Unterhaching Top game against Energie Cottbus

After it had been 0-0 at the break, the Mecklenburgers won 3-0 thanks to a significant increase in performance. The gap to relegation place three, the Saarbrücken with ex-Hansa coach Alois Schwartz, is five points, but could shrink to two points with a win in Unterhaching. In addition, the Rostock Cottbus would overtake and improve in fourth place.

The Cottbusers will then be guest on Saturday (2 p.m., live on TV and in the live center at NDR.de) in the Baltic Sea Stadium, while Saarbrücken competes at Alemannia Aachen at the same time.

A difficult task, as Hansa had to find out on the Tivoli in his 1-2 bankruptcy in mid-March. If things go perfectly for the Mecklenburg, you could stand in third place in the late Saturday afternoon. If you pat twice, you can start with what Unterhaching started weeks ago: with the planning for the new season.

SpVgg Unterhaching: Eisele – Schwabl, Schlicke, Knipping, Breuer – Jastremski, Geis, Stiefler, Skarlatidis – Maier, ihorst
