Regensburg (dpa / lby) – Coach Mersad Selimbegovic leaves the system question at SSV Jahn Regensburg open before the away game in the 2nd Bundesliga at leaders SC Paderborn. After three defeats in a row, the Upper Palatinate successfully switched from a four-man to a three-man chain in the 0-0 draw against Holstein Kiel. “It worked well, the boys took it well,” said Selimbegovic on Thursday. “Let’s see, Paderborn also plays a bit differently than Kiel.”

The Regensburg defense will have a lot to do against the offensively strong Paderborn on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky). Selimbegovic rated coach Lukas Kwasniok’s team, which has already scored 21 times, as “very variable, very enthusiastic about the game”. “It’s rock’n’roll or big cinema what they’re playing at the moment.” It is an “offensive spectacle.”

Selimbegovic hopes that offensive player Sarpreet Singh will play minutes for Jahn after his long-term pubic injury. “We have to bring him up slowly,” said the Regensburg coach about the 23-year-old, who is doing at least part of the training.
