Viktoria Koln - Hallescher Prediction, Picks and Tips
Offense wins games, Defense wins Championships - does this motto always apply in sports? Especially in those countries where the playoffs are still pending after "normal" league play, where a stable defensive often makes the difference, the thesis is often correct. Also in World and European Championships is often seen in K.o. games that a good work against the ball is worth more than a spectacular offensive football. But is this concept to be transferred to the league football, in which just these knockout games are eliminated? Clear answer - no! If we take a look at the last few years, then the teams that have bravely played forward were also at the top of the table. In league 2, this was in the preseason clearly the first FC Cologne and SC Paderborn. Also in league 3 this picture is reflected. The SV Wehen Wiesbaden, best offensive of all 20 teams, defensive but for example conceded more goals than relegated Lotte, has made the leap into league 2. It is definitely worth risking and preparing for a handsome football. Good news for promoted Viktoria Köln, who knows how to convince with these virtues. 6: 5 is the goal difference of the Rhinelander after two matchdays. At the start, the team of coach Pavel Dotchev brought a 0: 3 at his former club Hansa Rostock and secured a first point in league 3. At the first home game against Chemnitz, there was almost the return coach and the cathedral city trembled for a 3: 0-lead the 3-2 at the end over time. With four points, the yield for the league rookie is thus more than good and Viktoria Köln wants to make a hint against the home victory against Halle again. The great trump card of the hosts, Albert Bunjaku, is of course also there again and the biggest danger for the guests, who were with a 0: 1 and a 1: 0 just not exactly for the spectacle. Which style of play prevails, will show on Wednesday evening, when at 18:00 clock the whistle sounds. Between Viktoria Cologne and Halle, the odds of bookmakers are very balanced, which is why a real favorite can not be identified.
What a brilliant start the Viktoria Köln in the first league season of the club. Anyone who believes that the club has to get used to it and still has some fears of contact at the beginning, sees itself quickly deceived. The impression of the preparation continues seamlessly. There, the two last duels against Heracles Almelo and the second team of FC Schalke 04 once lost 3-0, once won 3-0. So far, this back and forth has also been seen in both games. After a complete false start in Rostock, the team of Pavel Dotchev brought after a 0: 3 still an important away point. This self-confidence was then felt in the premiere home game against Chemnitzer FC from the start and this time the troupe from the Rhine went even 3-0 lead. A late phase of weakness endangered the first home game then still a bit, in the end, the hosts brought the 3: 2 but over time. So far, an old acquaintance from the Bundesliga has stood out in both games. Albert Bunjaku, who has already netted in the upper house for the 1st FC Nuremberg, met twice in both games and leads with four goals the scorer in league 3. The 35-year-old is of course worth gold for the Cologne with his experience and cold-bloodedness in front of the opponent's goal. He harmonizes perfectly with club idol Mike Wunderlich, Kevin Holzweiler and Simon Handle. After the regional league, this four-man team is now mixing professional football and it's clear that the offensive has been going on for quite some time. In the same way it can be seen that some new players are used on the defensive. In addition to goalkeeper Mesenhöler, these are mainly center-back Dominik Lanius of Preußen Münster and six-man Mart Ristl of VfR Aalen. So it is not surprising that in the game forward a lot works, while the vote on the defensive still has room for improvement. With Bernard Kyere, Fabian Holthaus and Moritz Fritz will soon be three more new additions to the squad. At the moment these three players are still injured due to injury. However, if the existing staff continue to boast as much as before, then Pavel Dotchev is happy to do without the newcomers. Should be again successful between Viktoria Köln and Halle a tip on the Rhinelander, then the climber could settle with seven counters directly in the front third of the table.
Whole boulders could be heard, as the final whistle between the Hallescher FC and Hansa Rostock sounded. These boulders fell from Torsten Ziegner and his charges after the home win against the team from the Baltic Sea. After the outstanding preseason, in which the rise was narrowly missed, the coach faces a serious challenge. The quality in league 3 has continued to increase, but also the expectations in their own environment. A false start would have been very annoying and threatened to suggest after the 0: 1 at Uerdingen. Even the 0: 3 in preparation against Erfurt made many fans worry. Against Rostock the hosts of the Saale the tension was clearly noted and after in the final stage at the score of 0: 0 defensive Niklas Landgraf saw the yellow-red card, threatened even a second bankruptcy. But long-time star Björn Jopek was the one who released the fans two minutes before the end of the regular season. With the first goal of the season for the HFC, he also made the threesome perfect. With this success in the back of the start in the English week is much easier and Halle will now refuel immediately against the promoted from Cologne on Wednesday. Personally, there are no injury problems. But of course after the dismissal an alternative solution to Niklas Landgraf must be found. His namesake Niklas Kastenberger can probably make the most hopes for an assignment in the starting lineup. Otherwise, there will be no big changes. Even the newcomer Terrence Boyd, whose transfer execution was recently announced, is probably not an option for the game in the cathedral city. The attacker with Bundesliga experience but will probably bring in the future another component in the game of the HFC. His physical presence and the strength of his head can certainly not hurt, after the Ziegner protégés previously seemed harmless, especially in the game forward.
