Veh: Our attacking unit is hard to predict

During today's press conference ahead of the away match against Dynamo Dresden the media asked Eintracht manager Armin Veh about the situation, please find a summary below. The match kicks off tomorrow at 20.12h CET.

Mr Veh, will Mo Idrissou be in the starting 11?
I am intending to let him start and I might change the tactical formation to 4-4-2 with two strikers.

Who will be the second starter up front, next to Idrissou?
Either Theofanis Gekas or Jimmy Hoffer.

Why the change of tactics?
Our attacking unit is hard to predict. With Meier, Rode and Köhler we can appear more dangerous offensively.

With two forwards will there be one main defensive midfielder?
Yes, one defensive and one offensive midfielder and two beside them - the classic way.

How is Pirmin Schwegler, any news about his back problems?
He is not back to 100% but he should be OK to play on Monday.

Do you expect former Eintracht player Marcel Heller to appear for Dresden?
Some managers tend to let players start against their former clubs for motivation reasons. I do not know how Ralf Loose will handle it.

What do you expect of Dresden?
That is difficult to say. It is possible that they will have more defensive tactics with one striker only. They are pretty successful at home and they have a good attack, I therefor expect them to play with two men up front.
