Marcus Ingvartsen will probably enter the Alte Försterei for the last time this Saturday as a player who still belongs to Union Berlin.
The Köpenickers loaned the striker to FSV Mainz 05 until the end of the season.
In the event of remaining in the league, which there is little doubt given the 34 points meanwhile, Mainz has a purchase obligation.
The Mainz team want to clear up any residual skepticism on this 24th match day – and at the same time improve their away record.
The good shape Svensson's pros are in at the moment was demonstrated last weekend in the 3-2 win against Bayer Leverkusen, probably their best game of the season so far.
And the 1-1 draw in Freiburg in the first half showed that they are also capable of good performances in foreign stadiums.
In order to be successful at Union, "the few big chances that the opponent offers us have to be used effectively", the coach mentions an aspect that could recently be improved.
Jonathan Burkardt in particular repeatedly lacked the callousness that made him stand out in the first half of the season with seven goals – his last sense of achievement was the 3-0 lead against VfL Wolfsburg on December 4th.
The 21-year-old is not lacking in training, Svensson assures.
"He's working hard on his degree, just like he did before.
We do not change his individual training content.
His performances are good and we are convinced that he will score again."
He doubts Burkardt any more than Karim Onisiwo, who was unlucky against Bayer with a wrongly disallowed header.
"Ask the central defenders in the Bundesliga if it's fun to play against our strikers..." Ingvartsen's joker and winning goal a week ago fueled hopes of also joining the category of killjoys.
The Dane, who was only rarely able to participate in the autumn and winter due to persistent adductor problems, "makes the competition different," says Svensson about his compatriot.
