Atletico has been doing badly for a few rounds, the last match was a defeat with also weak Coritiba 2-0. The new coach has serious problems with the composition of the squad, he is checking the new setup but nothing comes of it. In this match, he cannot count on several important players: Frietas, Jefferson, Baralhas, Jorginho, Pereira, Hayner, Fernando, Ronaldo, Wanderson. Especially defense line has suffered where only 1 nominal defender, Dudu, is in the squad.
After the cup break and a draw with Atalanta, the host team returns to the league competition, they are in shape, which they showed by beating Dortmund 4: 1.

Osters lost the last game after a good spectacle against Trelleborgs 0: 1. Today they will have a great chance with full squad to take all 3 points from Vasteras.

In total, 6 players are coming from the basic squad (Fagerstrom, Adolfson, Oefvert, Tronet, Englestrom, Edlund), other replacements are selected from match to match, but there is no improvement. They also lost the previous game against the weak Falkenbergs 1: 3.

Additionally to that Coach haven’t a lot of players to choose from: Farah Shahin, Friberg, Heintz, Lindgren, Mohammed, Rasheed, Youssef.
Borussia is looking to be prepared for league and Super Cup competition. Looking for their last achievements – won with Frankfurt 5:2 and into cups 0:3 with Wehen. Unfortunately Today’s they are hit by long injured list. Cannot play 10 important players: Brandt, Can, Coulibaly, Guerreiro, Hazard, Hummels, Meunier, Morey Bauza, Schmelzer, Zagadou. Coach will have great headache to set right players especially into defense line. Despite of slow opening and draw with Monchengladbach, Bayern is right prepared to this event and league completions. They can overcome Today’s opponent but should keep striker Halland underground.
YB unluckily achieved draw in last game with red lantern – Vaduz. It was caused by red card received for Nsame. In this game if we won’t see the same surprise hosts should overcome Sion.

Sandhausen started this year really poor after lost with Hannover 0:4. Coach Schiele said on the pre-match conference, that there is no ambitions into team, determination and engagement what caused the team lost. Coach expectation is to switch team behavior, but the problems looks to be in trainer itself and his replacement can change something. Into upcoming game with Heidenheim we won’t see defender Diego Contento, midfielder Linsmayer, and midfielder Nartey is questionable. Heidenheim in form, first match this year won with Nurnberg 2:0.
