After Dynamo Dresden's own-goal drama in Bielefeld, they are now aiming to make an early leap into the 2nd Bundesliga in Mannheim. "Whether it's against the runners-up in the table or against a team at the bottom, we have no other approach," said coach Thomas Stamm ahead of the penultimate point game in league three this Saturday (14:00/MagentaSport/MDR) at Waldhof Mannheim. Dynamo will be accompanied by 3,800 fans.
Stamm believes the opponents are "a very strong transition team. We are really looking forward to the game in Mannheim. Both teams have something at stake". The relegation-threatened club recently won 4:2 at promotion candidates Energie Cottbus and climbed to a non-relegation place in the table. With the win, Mannheim's new coach Dominik Glawogger celebrated his first three-pointer in his fourth game in charge. However, the team is only ahead of Borussia Dortmund II and VfB Stuttgart II due to its better goal difference.
