East derby of the 3rd league: Hansa Rostock welcomes Energie Cottbus today!
What's going on in the Ostseestadion in Rostock today? At 7 p.m. it's: Hansa Rostock against Energie Cottbus. This encounter in the 3rd league not only brings exciting football action, but also a good deal of explosiveness, after all it is an Eastern derby. Hansa Rostock urgently needs to score points as the club is currently stuck in the lower midfield of the table. After a final draw against TSV Havelse, it's time to finally get another win. BILD.de reports that Rostock have only been able to win two of their eight games so far.
The situation at Energie Cottbus is different. The team impressively concluded its last negotiations with a clear 5-0 win against VfB Stuttgart II and is proving to be particularly accurate this season. Coach Claus-Dieter “Pele” Wollitz can rely on his offensive team, which has already scored 12 goals this season. [Goal.com]. Rostock was only able to win matches once, while Cottbus emerged victorious four times.
The transmission and preliminary reports
There is good news for all fans who want to follow the clash live: it will be broadcast via the paid streaming provider Magenta Sport. From 6.45 p.m., fans on the channel, pushed by presenter Hannes Jakobi and commentator Andreas Mann, are invited to follow the derby. However, there will be a free live ticker on BILD.de so that even those who don't have a subscription can stay up to date.
The omens couldn't be weaker for Rostock: In addition to the poor points tally so far, there's also the unfortunate 1-1 draw recently. While Cottbus presented themselves with an impressive goal difference of 12:4 and thus as a clear superiority after the last encounter, the Rostock team, who have only managed to score 3 goals in the league so far, are struggling.
The key player and his explosiveness
The reunion with Maximilian Krauß, a former Energie Cottbus player who now wears the Hansa jersey, provides additional excitement. Wollitz was rather skeptical about a possible handshake with Krauss: “Ignoring is really a strange thing for me.” With his 3 assists, Tolcay Cigerci is the player of the hour for the Cottbus team, despite his personal circumstances.
It remains to be seen whether the people of Rostock can turn the trend around this evening or whether Cottbus will take advantage of the signs. One thing is certain: the excitement is palpable and the spectators can look forward to a thrilling duel.
