...INJURY REPORT

Leart Pacarada and Dejan Ljubicic are not yet considered for the matchday squad. Except for the long-term injured, everyone else is available for Saturday and can be used. Mark was on the right track, we saw that in Mainz. He's back in training, but it's not enough to be 100 percent yet. It's still a good feeling for me to have him on the bench.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

We have a final tomorrow, so there will only be one course and that is forward. That's the approach. We want to play courageously and intensively so that we can keep the three points here and earn another final in Heidenheim.

...EXPECTATION

The performances in the last two games make me positive. We played well, but couldn't win the games. We want to change that tomorrow. It's the last chance and we have to use it. The fact that we have our fans behind us gives us additional energy.

...STANDINGS

I'm looking forward to the task and am convinced that we'll manage to avoid relegation. I know our team well and know that if we join forces we are capable of picking up the necessary points. In the fight to stay in the Bundesliga, we need to draw on the strength of the entire club and, of course, that of our squad. We trust Marco Grote and his team to lead our players back to their highest levels of performance to make the remaining games until the end of the season a success.
