Overview
- The fixture kicks off at 18:30 at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion and will be shown on Sky with a live ticker on SPORT1; the match is not on free-to-air TV.
- Friedrich Müller is suspended after receiving a yellow-red card in the last game and Brooklyn Ezeh is also banned, removing two regular starters from Dresden’s lineup.
- Müller led Dresden this season in ball contacts and passes with about a 90 percent pass accuracy, so his absence forces a tactical reshuffle in midfield.
- Dresden enter the game short on defensive options with long-term injuries to centre-backs Kenneth Schmidt and Lars Bünning, Thomas Keller sidelined by a concussion, and Nicolai Rapp’s match fitness unclear after a halftime substitution.
- Fürth have already earned six points this season from matches in which they trailed, and historically Dresden have lost more league games to Fürth though Dresden have been strong at home in recent meetings.
