Dynamo Dresden kicks off the second half of the 2. Bundesliga season with a 'six-point game'. On Saturday, January 17, 2026, the team hosts the second-to-last team from Fürth.

What does the team expect?

Coach Thomas Stamm feels 'anticipation' for the first game after the winter break. He hopes that his team can 'make up for a few things' that did not work out in the first half of the season.

Preparing for the game

The goal for the duel with Greuther Fürth is clear: to 'keep the three points at home'. For this, the team needs 'a lot of confidence and courage', says Stamm. The 2-3 defeat from the start of the season played only a minor role in the preparation for the game.

Personnel changes

Personnel-wise, Stamm has not yet decided on a starting lineup for the second half of the season. With the new signings, the team is 'a bit broader', explained the 42-year-old. | Player | Position | | --- | --- | | Elias Bethke | Goalkeeper | | Robert Wagner | Field player | | Thomas Keller | Field player | | Jonas Sterner | Field player | | Jason Ceka | Field player |

The new turf at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion

Something that the Dynamo players and the guests from Franconia also have to adjust to is the brand-new turf at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion. Just a week ago, an ice hockey game took place there.

Current league situation

Dynamo Dresden is currently in 11th place in the 2. Bundesliga with 41 points from 34 games. The team has scored 54 goals and conceded 53 in this season. The last win was on May 17, 2026, against Holstein Kiel with a score of 2-1.
