Jena wants to shine against Greifswald - Kroos' return as a key factor!
FC Carl Zeiss Jena is currently in top form. The team has remained unbeaten in twelve games and has returned with an impressive 23 out of 27 possible points in the league and cup. Next Saturday, October 28, 2025, there is an important duel against FC Greifswald that inevitably promises excitement. After a difficult start to the season, Greifswald is in a relegation battle and has only picked up seven points from twelve games. So the people of Jena have been warned: Coach Volkan Uluc describes Greifswald as a “stricken boxer” who can strike at any time.
Preparations for the away game are in full swing. Jena travels professionally to the Baltic Sea, including a final training session on Friday in her hometown. The team then takes the bus on the long journey to Greifswald, the journey takes around six to seven hours. The team will spend the night near the stadium in order to optimally prepare for the game. An activation walk is planned for Saturday morning to send the players fresh into the encounter. The game itself will kick off at 2 p.m.
Challenges and opportunities
The game could be particularly tricky for some of the Jena players, as some of them have no experience with such trips. However, coach Volkan Uluc is optimistic and sees this as an opportunity for his protégés to learn how professional football works. A positive aspect is that Jena can rely on three suspended players with Patrick Weihrauch, Manassé Eshele and Justin Schau, which should give the team additional stability. However, Malik Talabidi is missing due to a yellow card suspension and Kay Seidemann is currently battling a wave of illness.
The people of Jena should not only play for themselves, but also for Roland Kroos. The father of world champion Toni Kroos was temporarily brought back as sports director in Greifswald. Uluc is positive about the influence Kroos has on the team and hopes for an exciting encounter. The game could be groundbreaking for Jena, which is eyeing promotion to the 3rd league.
