Marco Wildersinn expresses little incentive for change
The Stuttgarter Kickers are set to play their home debut against SV Sandhausen in the Regionalliga, scheduled for Sunday, 10 August, at 2 PM at the Gazi-Stadion auf der Waldau.
Despite ongoing issues with central striker David Braig (Achilles tendon) and winger Oskar Hencke (hip flexor), the team is in high spirits after a 1:0 away win against SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz. Midfield playmaker Maximilian Zaiser (thigh contusion) is still being rested in training, but Maximilian has fully recovered from the partial tear of the lateral collateral ligament of his ankle and will be included in the squad.
Coach Marco Wildersinn has one more option available for the match, and it is expected that SV Sandhausen will play a more offensive game against the Stuttgarter Kickers than they did in their Regionalliga opener against FSV Frankfurt. One player for the offensive wing of the Stuttgarter Kickers is likely to be removed from the match report, with candidates being Meris Skenderovic, Nevio Schembri, or Lirjon Abdullahu.
SV Sandhausen, who were relegated from the third tier, lost their Regionalliga opener against FSV Frankfurt 1:2 but advanced to the next round of the Baden Cup with a 4:1 win against SGK Heidelberg after going down 0:1.
The Stuttgarter Kickers aim to improve in several areas, including control and presence in the final third, creating more scoring chances, and converting them. Umit Sahin, the former goalkeeper coach of the Stuttgarter Kickers, is now head coach of the Macedonian first division club FC Shkupi.
The Stuttgarter Kickers have a series of upcoming matches, including VfR Aalen, Eintracht Trier, 1. FSV Mainz 05 II, Kickers Offenbach, TSV Steinbach Haiger, SC Freiburg II, KSV Hessen Kassel, FC Bayern Alzenau, SGV Freiberg, and Kickers.
While specific details about the predicted lineup or injury updates for the Stuttgarter Kickers ahead of their Regionalliga home debut against SV Sandhausen are not currently available, we will continue to monitor official club sources for updates closer to the match day.
In light of their recent victory against SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz, the Stuttgarter Kickers look forward to their European-leagues challenge against SV Sandhausen, especially since the latter is expected to play a more offensive game. The team's focus remains on enhancing their offensive strategies, particularly control and presence in the final third, as they strive to convert more scoring chances in the upcoming Premier-League matches against various opponents.
