SV 98 has had an eventful international break. When Florian Kohfeldt makes his debut, the Lilies will host Eintracht Braunschweig on Saturday (14.09/1pm).

They are very good at switching offensively and also have a playful approach, but are not above playing the ball deep under pressure. They are also very strong at offensive set pieces. They change a little in height during the start-up behavior, so there is no completely clear picture. A very experienced team awaits us.
Eintracht Braunschweig’s head coach, Daniel Scherning, spoke at the press conference about the upcoming encounter with Darmstadt 98 and shared his assessment of the opponent: „We are totally prepared for a clearly emotional team to be on the pitch at Darmstadt. We know that a game after a change of coach is always like a restart. That’s how they will approach it tactically with a back four or with a back five. Both are possible for how Kohfeldt likes to play. I think they’re trying to switch well, get into depth quickly, play very straight and keep overloading the center, which is what we’re used to from them. The basic structure has changed a bit, but a coach’s first game is always a look into the crystal ball.
Even though summer officially lasts until September 21st, real autumn weather awaits us on Saturday afternoon. The sky above the Böllenfalltor will probably be cloudy, the chance of rain is 15 percent.
