Cellar duel: Eintracht Hohkeppel meets troublesome SC Wiedenbrück!

In an exciting basement duel of the Regionalliga West, Eintracht Hohkeppel meets SC Wiedenbrück on Saturday at 2 p.m. This game is of enormous importance for both teams, after all, they are about relegation. The Hohkeppelers have to compete without Dino Bisanovic, Sven Wurm and Tom Geßner, and the situation is tense.

The coaching in the league is alarming! After several layoffs, including Hohkeppel Mutlu Demir and René Klingbeil from Wuppertaler SV, the pressure on the trainers and players is immense. While the Wiedenbrücker recently reported back with a 4-2 win against Türkspor Dortmund, the euphoria was not long-lasting. A desolate performance against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen again led to a bitter defeat. The team was ready, and yet they couldn't do a guided tour - a frustrating pattern!

Hohkeppel's trainer about the challenge

trainer Iraclis Metaxas is under pressure on Saturday and goes into play with mixed feelings. "The opponent is very difficult to assess among the new interim coaches. However, we have enough construction sites that we have to work on," he says with emphatic. Due to the hanging exploitation of opportunities, metaxas are concerned. The ability to score goals is crucial. But where do you get when not stealing? Metaxas refers to top clubs such as FC Barcelona that need talented strikers despite good training. "Gate shooting is an innate ability that you cannot always learn," he adds.

Where will the path for Hohkeppel lead? Metaxas urges his team to become more courageous in attack and use the chances more efficiently. "We need a determination like the Champions League game by Antonio Rüdiger. You have to transport the ball into the net instead of just trying it!"
