Alemannia Aachen-TSG HOFFENHEIM II    (won)

                           Alemannia Aachen-TSG HOFFENHEIM II  "X2"

Alemannia got away with 1 point in their opener at Osnabrück. Unfortunately Osnabrück could not convert on their 2 big chances in the end after dominating shots on/off goal, BUT in the end a deserved 0-0 between 2 Teams that just had very little offensive power. Alemannia had a squad of 14 players, was not able to make all substitutions and was forced to substitute again 2 times in their defense due to injuries. Coach Muzzicato is hoping for new players, BUT even if there will be some or one transfer it will not help immediately. Aachen plays different, BUT still in offense tootless, WRIEDT the new key center had his best days already behind him. Some players missed a bunch of preparation and need to play heavy minutes, some play because they just have no alternative and they cannot work on their playing style because there is not enough players. At this time a devil circle. Alemannia even so having the focus on defense still allowed some dangerous rooms in defense, Osnabrück just couldn´t take advantage out of it. HOFFENHEIM now comes with the backwind of promtion and many experts saying that they might be a surprising Team similar to Cotbus last year. They also played 0-0 in their opener BUT had a ton of chances and just a bit of bad luck. At Aachen the opponents always get their chances, the big crowd pushes Alemannia forward, making them vulnerable at defense. HOFFENHEIM will get their chances and HOFFENHEIM will SCORE at least once. HOFFENHEIM well coached and with a clear playing philisophy from their Bundesliga Team will be top motivated playing in front of this big crowd and Aachen will once again not WIN their HOME opener as in recent years. Aachen with the non existing offense will not score multiple times, they might settle for another point here again and should be satisfied. Coach Muzzicato said they need transfers and they need time. With all the injuries and a dangerous opponent in rookie HOFFENHEIM II this will be again not a great Match to watch. HOFFENHEIM II will NOT LOSE here at Tivoli....
