SGD coach Markus started training this week in the same way as before the first scheduled match in Saarbrücken. With the addition: “We had one more day than usual in the training week.” As is known, after the match against Dynamo was abandoned, Saarland hosted FC Bayern Munich in the DFB Cup and defeated the record champions 2-1.

Which, of course, the SGD coach observed carefully: “We are playing against a team that has shown its potential. You can beat Bayern Munich maybe once every ten games. But first you have to have quality, once to win” . For the Dresden team this means: “Saarbrücken will defend with strength and concentration and try to create points. For us it will be a difficult task.”

As for personnel, Paul Lehmann, Kyrylo Melichenko, who underwent knee surgery in Cologne, Jonas Oehmichen (team coach) and goalkeeper Erik Hermann will still be missing. Lucas Cueto also trained this week, “but he is still physically behind.” “In principle, all other players are at our disposal,” Beginning said.

The atmosphere at Dynamo’s rival, 1. FC Saarbrücken, is tense after the surprise victory against Bayern. The hit could not hide the fact that things are not going well in the league. Rüdiger Ziehl’s team has not won in five league games and with 15 points the black and blue are in 15th place (two more comebacks: against Dynamo Dresden and MSV Duisburg). During the 2-3 defeat against 1860 Munich the first cries of “Out” were heard.

The FCS coach values ​​the leader Dinamo Dresden very positively: “They always play with the same system, they have processes that work well and great individual quality.” That is why his team “must be present from the beginning on Sunday and have a good performance.” for 90 minutes Get performance. The field will surely not be in optimal conditions, but we assume that it will be playable.”

Ziehl will have to do without Tim Civeja, who assisted Marcel Gaus, who scored 2-1 against Munich. Civeja received an invitation to the Albania U21 team. Luca Kerber, who was recently on the bench, could take the midfielder’s place.
