Hansa - Oberhausen
17.04 18:30
It could be said that Hansa is actually doing very good in the championship, considering all the stuff that have been happening during this season for them. They changed as many as three coaches this year, lots of players were injured and finally there was that long and big series of bad results and desperate performances. First coach Pagelsdorf was replaced by Eilts, and when he didn’t manage to make the satisfactory improvement, Zachhuber was brought instead of him. This coach has already been this Eastern German team’s manager in the past and is pretty familiar with the situation in this club. He did good and the positive results started coming their way. Zachhuber is claiming his team will play better as the league is coming to an end and they will secure the Zweite Bundesliga status before the last round. They’re currently in the play-out spot but everyone in Rostock is hoping they will escape that position after this round already. A lot of players are still out due to injuries and suspensions: Dorn, Yelen, Rathgeb, Morais, Gledson all can’t play but the team that played the last four matches if totally healthy so Zachhuber won’t be shuffling the cards too much. The only guy Zachhuber could’ve counted on, but who will not play is Bartels who is still under suspension due to red card. His team will probably look like this:Hahnel - Schöneberg, Bülow, Orestes, Oczipka - Svärd - Schindler, Fillinger - Retov - Kern, Kroos.
No need to get nervous
Oberhausen’s players don’t have any reason to get nervous. They don’t have any chance to come close to the teams from the top, but they still won enough points in order not to worry about their relegation status. However, coach Luginger is asking his players to be serious, saying they are just a few matches close to secure the Zweite status completely. Oberhausen will be pretty weakened in this match cause their squad is hurt by missing of Kruse who got his 5th yellow card and received an automatic suspension. Regulars Landers and Heppke also won’t play due to injuries. Their main striker Terranova is under a question mark, as he hasn’t practiced due to vertebra problems. Oberhausen’s lineup could be the following:Pirson - Pappas, B. Reichert, Schlieter - Falkenberg, T. Reichert, Embers - Stoppelkamp, Kaya - Nöthe, Terranova.
Motives and absences
Hansa is fighting for their lives, their players have proven to be very capable of playing solid and handling the pressure. On the other hand, Oberhausen really don’t have many sports-like motives before this match as they practically accomplished all the goals in this season. Besides, Hansa has a home-field advantage while Oberhausen has a lot of personnel problems due to absences of a few first-team regulars. All these things lead me to suggest a bet on the home win that would significantly help Hansa to improve their chances for survival in Zweite Bundesliga.
Tip: Hansa, Odds 1.75
