Hansa Rostock under pressure: Winning against Wiesbaden is a must!

The next important game for Hansa Rostock is on Saturday at 2 p.m.: The team welcomes SV Wehen Wiesbaden. The pressure on Rostock is enormous, after all, the team has not been able to win in the last four games and has slipped to 15th place in the table. In order to escape a relegation zone, Hansa urgently needs points, which makes coach Daniel Brinkmann aware of the importance of defensive discipline and creative solutions for the offense. In particular, the lack of a real goalscorer has repeatedly caused problems for Rostock.

Hansa won seven games, while Wiesbaden also had seven wins and four games ended in a draw. Hansa Rostock has scored 24 goals so far, compared to 22 goals from Wiesbaden.
