Overview
- Energie Cottbus has scored seven goals and conceded eight in its last two 2. Bundesliga matches, making their games unusually high scoring.
- Captain Axel Borgmann said the side will keep its forward style but does not want recurring high-scoring draws and wants more defensive stability.
- Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz recalled the 5:5 draw with Karlsruhe from 16 years ago as a memorable match while saying three points would be most welcome now.
- Both clubs’ starting lineups were published before the game, with Cottbus naming Lotka in goal and Borgmann in the defence and Karlsruhe fielding Fukuda and Wanitzek in attack.
