Energie Cottbus meets Alemannia Aachen after 26 years!

Energie Cottbus meets Alemannia Aachen after 26 years!

A football festival is coming up, as FC Energie Cottbus and Alemannia Aachen will meet for the first time in 26 years next Saturday afternoon. The last duel took place on November 26, 1999, and the anticipation for the 19th meeting is great. In the record so far, Energie Cottbus is ahead with 9 wins, while Alemannia has won 4 times. There have been draws five times so far, and the goal difference of 32:22 also indicates the strong performances of the Cottbus team. This reports FuPa.

The fans of both teams are excited to see what this encounter will bring. Cottbus has been quite successful so far this season and is currently in 3rd place in the table with an impressive win rate of 56%. It remains to be seen whether they can confirm their good form against Alemannia, as the last two games in the 3rd league ended with wins and a goal difference of 8:1. Coach Pele Wollitz is relying on the freshness of his players and is planning changes to the lineup in order to play to the strengths of his team.

Enemy challenges

Alemannia can look back on an exciting form curve, which was however disrupted by a bitter defeat against Erzgebirge Aue (0:1). Coach Benedetto Muzzicato highlights his team's dominance, but sees a lack of freshness among the players. “There is a challenge in the training load that we have to manage,” explains Muzzicato. Alemannia Aachen has often shown what it is capable of in the last six games, but with four injured players they have some challenges to overcome.

The failures of Danilo Wiebe, Mika Hanraths, Matti Wagner and Jeremias Lorch, who cannot travel to Cottbus, are bitter for Alemannia. Nevertheless, around 800 loyal fans will accompany the team, which should ensure loud support. “A win in Cottbus could give us positive momentum for the upcoming international break,” Muzzicato is sure.

The betting strategy

Looking at the performances of both teams so far, it turns out that Cottbus is undefeated at home and has won the last four games in September. The probabilities favor Cottbus, but football is notoriously unpredictable. Alemannia has also shown that they can be dangerous with an average of 3.56 goals per game. This makes a game between the two teams particularly exciting.

Yannick Sager from Dortmund was named as the referee, supported by Roy Dingler and Dominic Stock as well as Luis Riedel as the fourth official. The question remains: who can make their audience cheer in the end?

In the current situation it is important that both teams play to their strengths and bring freshness to the pitch. The duel will certainly be a spectacle and an important highlight in the third division season.

One thing is certain: the football community in Cologne and the surrounding regions will be watching closely what the duel between Energie Cottbus and Alemannia Aachen has to offer.
