Hansa Rostock is a force at home this season. The Härtel-Elf has already celebrated three victories in the Ostseestadion. The fourth should come against Paderborn.
Rostock (dpa / mv) – Second division football club FC Hansa Rostock is aiming for the fourth home win of the season against SC Paderborn on Saturday (1 p.m. / Sky). “We’re playing in a full stadium at home. We don’t just want to be deep there, we have to find a mix of offensive play and defensive stability,” said coach Jens Härtel as a route for the game against the strongest offensive in the league. However, Hansa is going into the clash with East Westphalia with some personal problems. “John Verhoek is ill. Lukas Hinterseer has problems with his toe, with Simon Rhein we have to see how it fits,” said Härtel. Midfielder Rhein was last used on August 27 in a away game at Karlsruher SC (0-2) and has since had to sit back with a foot injury.
