BVB women expect a “highly motivated SSV Rhade”

BVB women expect a “highly motivated SSV Rhade” The scenario A narrow but thoroughly deserved victory: that’s how last Sunday’s 1–0 away win can be summed up. Head coach Markus Högner also expressed his satisfaction in retrospect: “We defended our lead against Mecklenbeck with confidence and didn’t allow the opposition a single chance on goal right until the end. A second goal would, of course, have made for a less stressful final few minutes – but against such a well-organised opponent, it’s certainly a challenge to find the right gaps.

” Now two points behind leaders Cologne, the team remains in the running. Personnel matters The BVB women have no injury concerns ahead of their home match against SSV Rhade. “Marina Scholz did have some minor thigh problems after the game in Mecklenbeck,” reports Markus Högner.

“But I expect her to be back in full training this weekend and therefore an option for Sunday. ” The opposition BVB face SSV Rhade, a team currently sitting 12th in the Regionalliga West table and embroiled in a relegation battle. Yet even though the Dorsten-based club’s last victory was around six weeks ago, BVB coach Markus Högner expects a highly motivated opponent: “With Sammy Messalkhi, a tactically astute coach took charge at Rhade in the autumn.

He has set the team up well and also strengthened the defence. ” Therefore, the Black and Yellows must create plenty of chances through good positional play, lots of movement off the ball and with their own fans behind them, in order to secure the next three points – just as they did in the 7-0 victory in the first leg. Patience in the season’s final stretch As well as the clash with SSV Rhade, the month of May holds four further league matches in store for the Borussia Dortmund women’s team against sides largely situated in the middle of the table.
