Greuther Furth host RW Essen at Sportpark Ronhof seeking a second-leg turnaround to preserve their Bundesliga 2 status. After a difficult campaign, they lost 1-0 in Essen in the first leg and now need to avoid further unwanted relegation records. They ended the regular season with a 3-0 home win over Dusseldorf, but have won only twice in their previous nine matches across all competitions. Furth will be without Marco John after a leg break early in a 0-0 draw with Munster, and Lukas Reich is a major doubt due to a muscle issue. Aaron Keller could return to the starting lineup, while Noel Futkeu leads the attack against his former club. RW Essen enter with momentum after a 1-0 home win in the first leg.

Likewise, 19-year-old Lukas Reich remains a major doubt due to a recent muscle issue. Only making a cameo first-leg appearance in Essen last week, Swiss starlet Aaron Keller could be handed a full recall. Bagging 19 Bundesliga 2 strikes this season and heavily linked with a move away during the summer, one-time Essen youngster Noel Futkeu will lead the line against his former club."
"While RW Essen might have found themselves at the heart of a worrying rut on either side of opening March, Uwe Koschainat's side have come roaring back over he past few weeks. Claiming a crucial first-leg advantage on home soil last week as they dragged themselves to that gritty 1-0 victory, the Whites will"
