FC HANSA ROSTOCK-Energie Cottbus    (lost)

                             FC HANSA ROSTOCK-Energie Cottbus "1"

Ostseestadion will be extatic on Saturday when "die Kogge" tries to move even closer to Promotion Relegation spot 3. Under midweek HANSA won a tricky rescheduled Match at Unterhaching with 2-0 and is within 2 points of Saarbrücken who are currently 3rd. Saarbrücken plays a tough Match at Aachen today and last Match Day against mighty struggeling BVBII who need also points to stay in the Liga. Aachen, the newbie, secured its stay in Liga 3 and both Coaches of aachen and Rostock are close friends, nevertheless over 25k fans will be expected at Tivoli in Aachen so I don´t see Saarbrücken get 3 points today easily. HANSA needs to make his homework first. On first sight, a chaser duell, a top duell 4th ranked HANSA versus 5th place Cottbus, BUT Energie, the newbie, started the Liga as one of the hottest Teams for relegation back to 4.Divison, had a run and where even leading the Liga for some time. HANSA on the other hand was after terrible start in the bottom of Liga, reversed worlds. Now 2 Match Days before the end of the season Cottbus is struggeling, even Coach Wollitz said they are just not good enough to be up there and a ton of mistakes in their last Matches. After the HINRUNDE( Match Day 19) Cottbus was 2nd with 37 points and HANSA 7th with 28 points, now 17 Match Days later HANSA already 1 point ahead of Energie. Cottbus in the RÜCKRUNDE (last 17 Matches) just with 22 points, 6W,4D and 7 L would be in that Table only place 13th. In that table HANSA is 4th with momentum climbing more up. HANSA now with 3W in a row without conceding. At HOME last 6 Matches without a defeat, 5W and 1D and 12-1 goal difference, Ostseestadion is again a fortress. Cottbus is running out of gas, only 1W in their last 6 Matches, on the road last Away Match only lucky 1-1 with 90+ equalizer at dead last Unterhaching, before that 4-1 defeat at BVB II and even 5-1 defeat at 1860. The trend is not your friend and HANSA wants to take its chance for Promtion, therefore HOME WIN HANSA ROSTOCK......
