Coach Guerino Capretti from Dynamo Dresden goes into the duel with table neighbors SV Sandhausen on Sunday (1.30 p.m. / Sky) with “a feeling of confidence”. The win streak that has lasted for eleven games and the associated slipping to relegation rank 16 in the 2nd Bundesliga would not change that. “The constellation is special, but I’m trying to take the pressure off the boys,” said the 40-year-old on Friday.

With central defender Tim Knipping, there is a player in the Saxon squad who once played for the Sandhäuser. Dynamo’s captain was active for Baden-Württemberg between 2016 and 2019. “I mostly had a good time in Sandhausen. The club gave me the chance to gain a foothold in the second division,” said Knipping. The 29-year-old expects an intense game at the weekend. “Everyone knows that Sandhausen doesn’t stand for prettiness. They are very compact defensively,” said Knipping. It is therefore important to accept the fight and still find playful solutions.
Ransford Königsdörffer and Christoph Daferner are hoping for a significant influence on their own attacking game in Dresden. Both were recently injured or infected with the corona virus. When they returned to team training, the offensive duo made a good impression, Capretti explained. Nevertheless, it is important to increase the load only in doses. A deployment of the two attackers on Sunday still seems possible. (dpa)
