Who will be number 1? Thrilling battle for Fürth's goal - Fürth's Goalkeeper Dilemma: Boevink vs. Prüfrock Ahead of Crucial Paderborn Clash
SpVgg Greuther Fürth faces SC Paderborn this weekend, with the starting goalkeeper role still undecided between Pelle Boevink and Silas Prüfrock. The team's defensive record is the worst in the league, but they hope to turn things around.
Fürth's head coach, Thomas Kleine, will decide the goalkeeper during Saturday's training session. Timo Schlieck, a 19-year-old on loan from RB Leipzig, is fit and in contention after playing for the U23 side. If Schlieck doesn't start, Silas Prüfrock is likely to take the role.
Both teams exited the DFB Cup in the first round. Paderborn played extra time against Bayer Leverkusen, but Kleine believes this won't affect their performance. Despite Fürth's poor defensive record, conceding 28 goals in ten matches, sporting director Stephan Fürstner remains optimistic about their chances.
SpVgg Greuther Fürth, winless in their last five competitive games, including a heavy 0-6 loss, will look to break their streak against SC Paderborn. The starting goalkeeper decision will be crucial in improving their defensive record and securing a much-needed victory.
