Sandhausen (dpa / lsw) – Coach Alois Schwartz from SV Sandhausen expects an offensive opponent in the second game of the season in the 2nd Bundesliga at SV Darmstadt 98. “A lot of things have to go well for us,” Schwartz said on Wednesday about his team’s prospects against the almost promoted team from the previous season. Despite Darmstadt’s 2-0 defeat at the start against Jahn Regensburg, the 55-year-old assumes that the “lilies are very, very self-confident”.
But his own eleven will also appear with a broad chest after the opening success against the Bundesliga relegated Arminia Bielefeld (2: 1) on Friday (6.30 p.m. / Sky). “We know what we can do,” Schwartz said. The coach left open whether Sandhausen will start with the same line-up as at the start of the season. He only has to do without Cebio Soukou (knee problems) and reserve goalkeeper Benedikt Grawe (appendectomy), who were also missing against Bielefeld. At least Soukou is on track to return to the squad soon, Schwartz said.
