3. Energy Cottbus' Promotion Hopes Dented by Hansa Rostock's Victory
Hansa-Sieg's Impact Negatively Affects Energie Cottbus - Hanseatic triumph undermines energy sector growth
Good news for football fanatics as the race for 2. Bundesliga promotion tightens! Energy Cottbus' push for promotion got a severe blow with Hansa Rostock's 2-0 win over SpVgg Unterhaching. Rostock now sits in 4th place, one point ahead of Cottbus (59).
Leading the 3. Bundesliga are Dynamo Dresden (67), Arminia Bielefeld (66), and 1. FC Saarbrücken (62). They remain in the hunt for the third spot, opening the relegation playoffs against the 16th-placed team in the 2. Bundesliga.
For Cottbus, the road to promotion just got tougher. They will have to tough it out in Rostock this Saturday (14:00) and secure another three points in the season's final game against FC Ingolstadt on May 17 (13:30). They'd also need Saarbrücken to falter in their finale to have any hope of promotion.
A fifth-place finish would not only end Cottbus' promotion dreams but also deny them an opportunity to participate in the first round of the DFB-Pokal, where only the top four teams from 3. Bundesliga qualify automatically.
Knowing Cottbus' historical edge against Hansa Rostock, winning 7 out of 15 clashes, the upcoming May 10 match will be a trial of their promotion fortunes.
