The last game of the year is coming up! SV Darmstadt 98 travels to Regensburg for the away game on Sunday (December 22nd/1:30pm). So it's time to take another look at the most important statements from the coaches and other important information about the encounter.
On paper we are the favourites. But we were already like that against Münster and Ulm. That's why being a favourite doesn't mean anything. Much more important is the substantive engagement with the opponent, which requires respect. We assume that we will have a difficult place. Our game requires a high level of concentration, especially on this surface. We want to win the game and definitely want to end the year in a way that feels good to us.
Andreas Patz, head coach of SSV Jahn Regensburg, at the press conference before the duel with the Lilies: “For me, Darmstadt is the team of the hour in the second division. They have the best attack and also scored five goals in some games. They played themselves into a bit of a frenzy and bring a lot of individual quality with them. Especially on offence, they have a lot of depth and a good line-up in the box, into which they repeatedly play balls. They have a good presence on the second balls and work well against the ball defensively from a good order.”
Around 5 degrees are expected with overcast skies and windy weather in Regensburg. The chance of precipitation is 50 percent.
