Erzgebirge Aue
- FC Erzgebirge Aue, who are currently 19th in the 3. Liga having accrued 25 points from 33 matches, are in desperate need of points to avoid relegation as they attempt to build a more stable team under Khvicha Shubitidze, who was appointed as head coach in April 2026.
- Aue’s form has been poor, but they’ve been even worse on the road, winning one and losing 11 of their 16 away games.
- Aue have conceded 31 in 16 away games.
Head-to-Head
A 0-0 away draw in the reverse fixture back in October will do little to inspire confidence in the visitors, given that Aue have won two of the three 3. Liga meetings to date.
Key Players
- Noah Darvich is a young talent who has been excellent this season, scoring nine 3. Liga goals in 24 appearances.
- Marcel Baer has been the shining light in Aue’s poor season, scoring seven in 17 and scoring three of their last seven goals.
