With the Billy Goats arriving under the guidance of new interim manager Rene Wagner, they will hope they can find their way out of the drop zone battle, as the season gradually comes to an end.

Eintracht Frankfurt and Koln will take on each other in the Bundesliga this weekend in a fixture that could help or affect their ambitions at both ends of the table.
The hosts’ progress under Albert Riera has been encouraging, though their momentum was checked by a 2-1 defeat to Mainz 05 just before the international break.
Said El Mala has been Koln’s top scorer in the league this season and has scored three goals in his last five Bundesliga games.
Sitting just outside the European places, they face an uphill battle to close the eight-point gap to the top six.
However, their home form offers real optimism—as they have won their last three Bundesliga home matches without conceding.
Cologne, meanwhile, are deep in the relegation fight, beginning the round just two points above the drop zone.
Depending on other results, they could find themselves under even more pressure if they fail to get a win against Frankfurt.
Eintracht Frankfurt and Koln have played a first-half draw in three of their last five meetings in the Bundesliga.
The Billy Goats are in desperate need of points to avoid slipping back into the second tier, but this looks like a tough assignment.
Their away form have been disappointing, as they have failed to secure a win in their last five Bundesliga games, with three losses and two draws.

Whispers predicts: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 FC Koln
The prediction for a 2-1 home victory is based on the superior attacking options available to the Eagles and their recent home form.
Frankfurt’s motivation to recover from the Mainz defeat should provide the extra edge needed to overcome Koln.
The bookmakers have positioned the home side as favourites with odds of 2.00, reflecting their strong home form.
A draw is priced at 3.50, a tempting option given the recent history of stalemates at this venue, while an away win for the Billy Goats is a long shot at 3.60.
Other markets, such as Both Teams to Score (yes) at 1.61, look particularly attractive, while Said El Mala to score is at 3.40 odds, and a half-time draw is at 2.30 odds.
