SV Wehen Wiesbaden expects Mainz 05 in the DFB Cup derby

The SV Wehen Wiesbaden is ready for an exciting duel on Friday evening. At 6 p.m. there is a neighborhood derby against Bundesliga club Mainz 05 in the first round of the DFB Cup. This game is not only a challenge for the Wiesbadener, but also a yardstick for the newly formed team and their performance in the new season.

The thrill of the Cup

The anticipation for an encounter against a Bundesliga club is great, and coach Nils Döring expresses this enthusiasm in his statements. For him and his team it is the opportunity to assert themselves against a strong opponent and possibly cause a surprise. "We want to bravely play football and not hide," emphasizes Döring, who underlines the importance of this game.

The influence of game practice

A potential advantage for labor could be the existing play rhythm. After a 2-2 draw in Verl and a 1-0 win against Rostock, the team has already collected points in the third division. In contrast, the Mainz have not yet been able to find a seasonal rhythm what the SVWW wants to use for its own strategy. "We have to show a high level of intensity," continued Döring.

the opponent and his strengths

In order not to underestimate the effort, Döring also emphasizes the strengths of his opponents. Mainz 05 has lost only two of the best teams, Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen under coach Bo Henriksen. This makes it clear that the SV Wehen can not only build on the "David against Goliath" moment, but also has to act strategically to offer the favorite.

fire and emotions - the role of fans

The anticipation is not only noticeable among the players, but also among the fans of SV Wohen. A sold -out stadium is expected and the supporters play an important role in supporting their team. Döring emphasizes how important the atmosphere in the stands is: "We want to take the audience on board and show them from the start that we are ready to fight."

A look at the players

personnel Döring has many options to implement his strategy. The availability of almost all players, including the talented Moritz Flotho, who has already scored two goals this season, could be crucial. "Flotho makes me incredibly fun and wants to continuously improve," says the trainer optimistically.

With all these factors in mind, SV Wehen Wiesbaden is looking forward to the upcoming duel against Mainz 05. It remains to be seen whether they can actually create a cup surprise for the audience and themselves.
