Energie Cottbus vs SC Weiche-08 Prediction & Betting tips
The FC Energie Cottbus is about to move up to the third division. 90 minutes separate the Lausitzer from the return to paid professional football. There are hardly any doubts about the failure of the Wollitz squad, especially as the first leg for the former Bundesliga club went well. Although opponents Flensburg could shorten after an intermediate 0: 3 in her view to 2: 3, yet Cottbus celebrated the away win. In front of home crowd, the favorite wants to make everything clear and crown an incredibly dominant season in the Regionalliga Nordost with the rise.
Flensburg will continue the second half of the first leg and certainly try everything to create the surprise, but it was already seen on Thursday that the Cottbus are qualitatively in the advantage, have a huge self-confidence and now enjoy the home advantage on Sunday. We are expecting a further demonstration of FC Energie and have therefore decided for a tip that the Lusatians are already halfway in the lead and at the end of the place as the winner. The highest betting odds for these bets are currently at 2.30.
Cottbus:
After FC Energie had to settle for second place in the Regionalliga Nordost behind FC Carl-Zeiss Jena in the preseason, was before the current season, the goal of promotion quickly pronounced. That the team of coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz would dominate the fourth league season, in which, among other ambitious Berlin teams are represented, but so dominate was by no means expected. In 28 of 34 games the Lusatians could celebrate three points. Overall, they conceded only one defeat in the season and had to take only 14 goals. Thanks to a 1-0 win over Babelsberg, the former Bundesliga club even made the double perfect in the Landespokal Brandenburg.
With a huge self-confidence, the Cottbus started accordingly on Thursday night in relegation play in Kiel against SC Weiche Flensburg. Already after 38 minutes was the qualitatively much stronger estimated favorites with 3: 0 in Holstein Stadium in front. The rise seemed to be sealed, but Flensburg fought back and shortened in the second round to 2: 3-final score from their point of view. Nevertheless, it would have to go with the proverbial devil, should the Cottbuser still forfeit the strong starting position.
In the stadium of friendship, the Wollitz squad stands this season with 16 wins and a break in 17 matches. The goal difference of 44: 8 also speaks a clear language. Energy has been unbeaten at home for 14 months. In addition, the promotion aspirant led in six of the last ten regional league games at halftime and eventually went out as well as a winner from the square. We assume that Kevin Weidlich, Marc Stein and Co. will again lay the foundation in the first 45 minutes and make the ascent with a new victory.
Flensburg:
The SC Weiche Flensburg 08, a merger of the ETSV Weiche and Flensburg 08, is certainly the biggest surprise among the six relegation participants. This is made clear by the fact that the club has long since switched to profit, but some kickers actually pursue a job. In addition, the budget of the Flensburgers compared to that of Cottbus is many times smaller. However, this did not prevent the team of the “No-Names” from finishing the Regionalliga Nord as champions. Before the second team of Hamburger SV Flensburg chose the title holder and earned themselves the relegation games.
In the first half on Thursday, Weiche seemed a bit overwhelmed with the situation. Since the own stadium does not meet the minimum requirements, the Flensburg had to dodge to Kiel, where they got in the first 45 minutes, not a leg on the floor.
It was already 0: 3 after 38 minutes and the dream of promotion to the third division was a long way off. After all, the team of coach Daniel Jürgeleit came up to 2: 3, still needs a small miracle on Sunday in the stadium of friendship. Either Flensburg wins in the Lausitz with two goals difference or scored in a one-goal win at least four hits. Both scenarios seem very unlikely.
