Football Results

The last match of the round is match between two teams that struggle to survive. Neither of teams is at two last places that directly lead to the lower league but Aue does occupy one that leads to the relegation play-off, while Furth stands a bit better for two places and has three points more. It is interesting that both teams are in fairly good shape recently and were undefeated in last five matches, although Aue drew far more often than Furth. Their head-to-head played in the first part of season had ended as Furth’s victory 2-1.

Aue

Aue played much better in the first part of season when it was positioned in the upper half of table but then started slow decline and right now this team is locked in bitter survival struggle. It is interesting that Aue didn’t lose in last five rounds, however, out of those it drew four matches and won just one, which was the only victory in this calendar year. The only triumph was achieved against nailed to the bottom K’lautern at home by minimal 2-1.

After the match Aue played two away matches and it drew both of them; firstly it drew with Sandhausen 1-1 after taking a lead, while in previous round it played a goalless draw with Union Berlin. After Sandhausen manager Drews had made just one change in team and he was forced to do so as Fandrich couldn’t play due to accrued yellow cards, while now Wydra cannot play due to the same reason.

Probable lineups Erzgebirge Aue: Mannel – Rizzuto, Cacutalua, Kalig, Kempe – Kvesic, Tiffert, Fandrich – Munsy, Kopke, Nazarov

Greuther Furth

Furth situation is exactly the opposite. This team had problems at the beginning of season when it spent some time in the drop zone but recently Furth improved and has managed to escape the relegation zone. Before this round Furth occupies the 14th place which is the best position this season. Unlike its hosts, Furth lost just once in this calendar year, which happened in Ingolstadt by sound 3-0. Before that Furth won and after it lost four and drew one match. At the moment Furth had three-game winning streak and it scored by two goals in each of those matches.

It firstly won Braunschwieg 2-1 at home but then it won the most valuable victory. Furth won Nurnberg, which is trying to return to the Bundesliga. In previous round it had far easier task against K’lautern, however, Furth won by minimal 2-1. After Nurnberg manager Buric quite logically didn’t want to change anything in the starting line-up and it is very probably that he will do the same now, as no new problems with injures have occurred. From before are out of action Omladic, Hinds and Bolly.

Probable lineups Greuther Furth: Burchert – Hilbert, Maloca, M. Caligiuri, Wittek – Gjasula, Gugganig – Narey, Green, Ernst – Reese

Verdict:

Both teams didn’t lose in five previous rounds and both have strong defence, which means this could be duel between two equal opponents and under such circumstance it is common that lower number of goals get scored.
