With this victory, VfR Aalen now has 54 points and occupies the 5th place in the table. For FC Zuzenhausen, which has relegated due to the defeat, it will be crucial in the next games to collect points. The team of coach Petar Kosturkov will compete in the remaining encounters against FSV Bietigheim-Bissingen and Calcio Leinfelden-Echterdingen. These opponents currently take the 11th and 17th place in the league. The aim of VfR Aalen is to get the maximum nine points from these three games.
Against this background, the Aalen team expects an intensive challenge. In the past encounter with Zuzenhausen in the first leg, Aalen clearly won 4: 0, led by the goal scorers Steffen Kienle, Nesredin Kenniche, Lucas Torres Farias and again Benjamin Kindsvater. In the current second leg, the Aaleners should be warned so as not to stumble.personnel situation
The misery does not allow: players like Steffen Kienle and Reece Hannam fail for the rest of the season, while Kenniche missed the entire second half of the season due to an illness. The shortness of breath in the relegation battle and the required victories are increasingly under pressure. The FC Zuzenhausen, which with only 27 points now has no chance of staying in the class, may also have to build on the support of their well -filled supporters, which counted 2090 spectators in the last home game.
The special situation is underlined by the geographical location of Zuzenhausen, where the training center of the Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim can be found. The challenges with which both teams are confronted are immense and the coming games will be crucial for where the journey for VfR Aalen and FC Zuzenhausen will ultimately go.
