Our thinking is that RW Essen might well have a job on their hands to breach the defence of this Energie Cottbus team who we reckon should gain the upper hand.
Our tip is therefore for a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 advantage for Energie Cottbus when all is said and done.
Should be a close one.
