Sandhausen is one of the smallest clubs in BL2, and like every season, they will only play for the staying up. They saved the league due to a very strong second half of the season. Their two most important players at their comeback were playmaker Soukou and top striker Testroet. Soukou is injured, and Testroed has left them. So these two key figures won't be available anymore.

Apart from that, they signed no real replacement for Testroet. Puklab came from Czech Republic, but he hasn't made a great impression so far. Their other option for the striker position is Kutucu who is actually not a real striker but likely to start up front today. They certainly still need to do something at this position.

Arminia with full draw coverage should be a relatively safe bet here. I see them as the second favourite in this league behind Hamburg. They have an excellent squad, especially now when they don't have any injured players. Their season preparation was very convincing, beating teams like PSV Eindhoven (4:1) or Olympiakos Piraeus (3:1). New manager Forte seems to have been a good selection for them after their relegation from Bundesliga.

Also, I would not overrate the home ground advantage in this game. Sandhausen barely have any fans, and atmosphere-wise, this should rather be a home game for Arminia. And last season, Sandhausen actually played better away than at home.

So altogether, Arminia just have the way better squad, having more quality at more or less each position, and the home factor should not be overrated in this match.

Sandhausen是BL2中最小的俱乐部之一，和每个赛季一样，他们只会为熬夜而战。由于下半赛季的强劲表现，他们挽救了联赛。他们复出时最重要的两名球员是组织者搜库和顶级前锋特斯洛特。搜口受伤了，Testroed离开了他们。所以这两个关键人物将不复存在。

除此之外，他们并没有签下真正的替代者。Puklab来自捷克共和国，但到目前为止，他还没有给人留下深刻的印象。他们前锋位置的另一个选择是库图库，他实际上并不是一个真正的前锋，但很可能在今天首发。在这个位置上，他们当然还需要做些什么。

有全额提款保险的阿米尼亚在这里应该是一个相对安全的赌注。我认为他们是仅次于汉堡的第二热门球队。他们有一支优秀的球队，尤其是现在他们没有任何受伤的球员。他们的赛季准备非常令人信服，击败了埃因霍温(4:1)和比雷埃夫斯(3:1)等球队。从德甲降级后，新帅福特似乎是他们的最佳选择。

此外，我不会高估这场比赛的主场优势。桑德豪森几乎没有球迷，就气氛而言，这更应该是阿米尼亚的主场比赛。上个赛季，桑德豪森在客场的表现实际上比在主场更好。

所以总的来说，比勒费的阵容更好，在每个位置上都或多或少有更好的表现，在这场比赛中，主场因素不应该被高估。
