This means that the Roosters absolutely need wins and at the same time have to hope for slips by the competition. However, their form in recent weeks has not been good. Before the three-goal win against Schwenningen, the Roosters lost four in a row.
Lack of balance between defense and offense
Defensively in particular, Iserlohn has had some problems this season. 179 goals against are too many, only Augsburg and Bietigheim are more vulnerable. Too often, the mix of offense and defense is not right. So it's no surprise that the shorthanded play doesn't really work either. A rate of 72.89 percent means the third weakest value.
The 21 goals scored by attacker Kaspars Daugaviņš only help to a limited extent. The experienced Latvian is the internal top scorer with 47 points. Caisey Bailey has already provided 27 assists, while Ryan O'Connor is one of the league's most offensively potent defenders with ten goals and 30 points.
