This will be Thuringia’s best football duel of the year!
On Friday evening (8:20 p.m./live on MDR) the regional league will be held FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt And Carl Zeiss Jena one another. BILD checks the derby!
Staff: RWE is going strong! Coach Fabian Gerber has striker Romario Hajrulla and head of defense Maxime Awoudja back in the team, but is desperately looking for a left-back. A total of seven long-term absences torment the Red and White, with captain Til Linus Schwarz (hamstring injury) missing another important player.
With Jena Captain Nils Butzen returns after yellow suspension. With the exception of Osazee Aghatise who is long-term injured (torn ligament), coach Volkan Uluc has a lot going for him.
Unusual advice: Werner will soon change that in football
Statistics: Erfurt have won only three of eight home games this season. The host’s curse must be defeated, of all people, their mortal enemy! Caution: Jena has lost only one away match so far.
A look at the “timeless statistics” shows that Jena is in the lead: the two met 91 times. Jena won 36 times and RWE celebrated 28 wins. However: Jena’s last win in Erfurt was in 2010 (0:3).
Fan: With 15,000 spectators, the derby sold out for weeks. There was a problem before because… For the first time, a guest card costs 20 euros. However, the huge fan rivalry between the two clubs was somewhat reduced first by the united ultra protests against the interior ministers’ conference and its plans (including facial recognition in stadiums).
