Spatzen looking for strength: is the turn in the second half of the season?

Ulm, Deutschland - The sparrows from Ulm are in the middle of the winter break, but the rumors for possible transfers do not fail. The SSV Ulm 1846 has already taken a decisive step: 25-year-old Niklas Kölle changes to the third division club VfL Osnabrück until the end of the season. Managing Director Markus Thiele described that this loan was an ideal solution for both sides and that the development of Kölle would be kept in mind, reported Ulm-news . The transfer movements are urgent, since the SSV is currently only in 16th place in the table, which is dangerously close to the relegation place.

The situation is tense for the team under the direction of coach Thomas Wörle, who plays again in the 2nd Bundesliga after a third division promotion last year. After a bumpy start of the season, in which the Ulm only scored one point from the first five games, the sparrows in the following games managed to achieve some positive results, including a considerable point of point against Hertha BSC. Despite the uncanny series of tie, the offensive with only 12 goals remains one of the weakest in the league, while the defensive has so far occurred strongly with only 15 goals. According to SGF 1903 , the Ulm won a total of 1356 one-against-one-duelle and thus offer their opponents a tough piece of work. Trainer Wörle remains optimistic and sees in the upcoming games, especially against Greuther Fürth, an opportunity to improve the points.

The next home game in front of their own audience will kick off against Greuther Fürth on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Wörle, who himself has a connection to Fürth, is aware of the challenge, but can build on the trust in his own strength that his team has won in the past few weeks. Philipp Maier, who saw his fifth yellow card against Hertha, will miss the game due to injury, as will other players due to different injuries. This could present the coaching team with strategic challenges, while the team continues to give everything to avert the impending relegation.
