The Reds suffered the toughest defeat in the season when they at Weser lost 6:1 to Werder. Huszti scored a consolation goal in stoppage time.
A defeat in the last round saw Hannover lose every hope that they could get to Europe next season, so their last appearance in front of home fans this season will be only formal. Precisely for this reason coach Hecking decided to field a somewhat offensive formation with two forwards which mostly wasn’t the case in the last 33 rounds. Besides the best scorer of the team Hanke, Stajner will also be in the attack, supported by midfielders, Huszti, Krebs and Bruggink who plays as in his bets days in PSV. Lala and Rosenthal won’t play because of five yellow cards, while Pinto, Brdariæ, Tarnat, Golz, Yankov, Hahne and Jensen are injured.
In the last round Cottbus solved all dilemmas about surviving in the league, having won Hamburger 2:0 in front of their fans. Fifteen minutes before the end of the first half Rivic brought the lead to his side, only for Sorensen to confirm the victory few minutes before time.
Before the end of the autumn part of the season, the management fired Sander and brought Prasnikar instead. At that moment, Cottbus were last on the standings, so even the greatest optimists among the fans doubted that their side can survive another season in Bundesliga. After securing a place in the league, Prasnikar renewed the contract with the club and he will be leading Cottbus for two more years. Coach won’t be making any changes in the team that celebrated against Hamburger so Cottbus will field the strongest line-up. Bassilia, Mannel, Schuppan, Waschmuth, Lerchl, Kanik, Trytko and Aloneftis won’t play because they are injured.
