Thalkirchen imposed control early, with sustained momentum and higher xG (2.59) translating into a two-goal lead from structured attacking phases. Following the 74’ goal conceded, momentum swung heavily toward the home side, leading to extended defensive sequences late in the match. Improving tempo control and ball retention after going two goals ahead should reduce late pressure and increase match stability.

Overall availability is good, but Rothaug, Ben Ali, and Cento require closer load monitoring.

Most core players—including Tobias Becker, Agron Plana, and Manuel Braun—are at low to average injury risk, allowing consistent selection. Niklas Rothaug is the main high-risk case and should be managed carefully through reduced training load or controlled minutes, especially in congested weeks. High-risk midfielders such as Ismail Ben Ali and Valentino Cento should avoid sudden spikes in playing time to prevent short-term availability losses.

Team performance is driven by a small core led by Raub and Becker, with limited depth and quality beyond them.

Jonas Raub and Tobias Becker currently carry the team’s performance level, with Rothaug providing additional attacking impact, while overall depth drops quickly beyond this core. To maintain performance across 90 minutes, rotations should protect Raub and Becker from overload, and additional responsibility should be deliberately given to mid-tier players such as Agron Plana and Manuel Braun to raise baseline output. Players at the lower end, including Valentino Cento, should be used in clearly defined roles to limit exposure under pressure.
