The starting point is clear: Verl can help relegation against the already saved MSV Duisburg. Even a draw is likely to be enough, since the last year's promoted team has the better goal difference compared to Viktoria Berlin, which receives SV Meppen on Saturday in the parallel game and is two points behind the SC.
The team of coach Michel Kniat deserves this "pole position" in the fight against the descent through a courageous end sprint. The victories against Saarbrücken and Wehen Wiesbaden followed a highly emotional 2-1 success in Dortmund last Friday. "I think there is only one way in our situation, and it always means believing it," said goal scorer Lukas Petkov after the game at "Magenta Sport". Goalkeeper Niclas Thiede was also responsible for taking the three points with him, who parried a penalty in added time - albeit with a discussable means.

Regardless of this, the keeper left no doubt about the relegation. "Now we have another game, we will win," he announced. Petkov is also convinced to take the last step next weekend: "We have the quality. You can see that on the pitch."
This attitude, in turn, let head coach Michel Kniat rave about his players ("That's why I love this team"). The 36-year-old, who had only taken over the SC in February, earned a special praise himself by catching up. "Our trainer has done outstanding work in the past few weeks. You can also see how the team has developed since he was there," said sports director Raimund Bertels before the trend -setting victory in Dortmund. "Michel is simply an absolute human scene. I think he not only captures the whole team, but also the staff. This is important in the relegation battle."
