The team push forward, look to dictate the tempo, and play on the front foot, but that aggressive style often leaves them exposed at the back. In recent rounds, the hosts have mixed strong performances with some disappointing spells. Still, in Dresden, they are more than capable of setting a high tempo against almost any opponent. Their main issue remains a lack of consistency when out of possession, as they frequently make mistakes during transitional phases.
