Energie Cottbus: The top line-up against Aue for the start of the season!

Today we take a look at the upcoming challenges in the regional league and analyze the teams' current personnel situation. Particular attention is paid to the preparation phase, which is in full swing for many teams. The line-up of players for the upcoming match against Aue is particularly interesting.

The analysis of the players' performances in two test matches showed that the team's coaches have to make optimistic but also skeptical assessments. The goalkeeping area is key: Andreas Bethke is expected to go into the game as first choice, followed by Sebald and Böhnke, who are available as potential alternatives. The decision as to who will ultimately guard the goal between the posts could be crucial for the rest of the season. Transfer market reports on these considerations.

Defense and offense: who plays where?

In central defense, Campulka remains the most skeptical player, while Awortwie-Grant seems settled. Pelivan could also move into this position due to short-term changes. The wing defense also remains exciting: Guwara showed a solid performance and can hope for good support from Zaydan. On the right side of the defense, Henry will be an offensively strong but defensively error-prone player, while Juckel is considered unsuitable for this position.

In midfield, Pelivan is considered the sixth seed, and Hofmann was able to distinguish himself as the winner of the preparation. Heidrich, on the other hand, had to struggle with poor performances and could fall behind other players in the squad. When it comes to offense, it looks like Cigerci is considered an important player, while Borgmann benefits from improved body language. On the wings we have Butler, who is considered a safe winger, but also poses a certain risk of injury. Can can prove himself against Aue and all eyes are on whether Tallig will recover from his last disappointment.

The storm and the coaching question

Engelhardt is seen as the best option in the storm. Tattermusch, on the other hand, has to improve significantly in order to continue to have a chance. In addition, Hajrulla could leave the club by the end of August, which creates uncertainty. The coaching question is also central: Ede Geyer leads the “energy team of all time” and has the opportunity to look back on a strong history with well-known players like Tremmel, da Silva and Reghekampf.

Overall, the air will be thin for some players this season, while others will need to fulfill their potential to secure their position in the team. That’s where things get exciting! And how will the team perform against Aue? Kicker does not leave us in the dark about the line-up of the two teams and the expectations for the upcoming game.
