1. FC Saarbrücken wants to continue on Saturday in Osnabrück after two impressive wins in the English week! The team has already scored six points this week and is motivated to secure the full number of points at the Bremer Bridge. Defender Philip Fahrner puts it clearly: “It would be extremely important for the team to improve again!” The team's optimism cannot be denied, and coach Rüdiger Ziehl also feels the positive change since the win against Hansa Rostock: "After the win in Rostock, I'm just in a good mood!"

A decisive duel

But VfL Osnabrück will do everything it can to improve its meager performance. After being relegated from the 2nd Bundesliga, they are clearly below expectations and are currently in last place in the 3rd league. Coach Pit Reimers was able to get a point in the 2-2 draw against 1860 Munich during the week, but it wasn't enough to hand over the red lantern. “We shouldn’t base ourselves on where we are in the table,” warns Coach Ziehl, recognizing the opponent’s qualitative surprise. Despite having well-known players from the second division squad, Osnabrück is currently not producing the expected performance on the pitch.

It will be crucial for Saarbrücken to show intense and powerful play, similar to the 2-0 win against Rostock. “We can now build on that,” said Ziehl. The playful solutions need to be refined, especially when Osnabrück is compact in defense. The situation in central defense remains tense as the suspended Calogero Rizzuto is unavailable after five yellow cards. However, Dominik Becker could return to the game. The match kicks off at 2 p.m. and can be streamed live on several platforms, including SR television.
