Fabian Klos, Arminia Bielefeld's long-serving striker, has a penchant for scoring against Halle's side, HFC. Klos has netted seven times in seven games against them, making it a delightful challenge for anyone aiming to halt his run. Dennis Mast, a former Halle player now at Chemie Leipzig, has a unique perspective, having played alongside Klos at Bielefeld Alm for two years.
Mast shares his insight on tackling Klos: "You've got to be brutal and merciless against him. He's got skills with his head and his foot. Once he's got the ball, it's tough to pry it away." Despite his eagerness to witness the clash firsthand, Mast has evening training in Leipzig to attend, leaving his son to cheer for HFC's U11 team instead.
