No, it’s not going well for Hesse Kassel: at the start of matchday 8, Friday night they lost 0: 3 to Fulda, a promoted Baroque city.
The battered home team had a cold shower at the start: Reinhard scored the 1-0 for the visitors with an arc lamp (6th): it was the first chance of the match. Durna only hit the crossbar on the other side, but it wasn’t enough for more in the first round. Immediately after the second half, another blow to the neck upsets the hosts: penalty awarded for a foul on Pomnitz, and Grösch scores 2-0 for the guests (49th). As a result, Kassel lacked the ideas and means to make the game exciting again. Fulda was initially able to manage the result and made it even clearer towards the end of the match: Wüst hit the net 3-0 (74th), an efficient performance of the promoted team, which initially climbed to fourth place . Hessen Kassel remains the last in the winless ranking,
Heavy tasks for Offenbach
If you look to Saturday, in the case of Kickers Offenbach you have to try an old, almost worn-out routine: during the week TSG Balingen failed to win again away on the fourth attempt (1: 1), the men are at home in Bieberer Berg by coach Alexander Schmidt, however, still without losing a point. Now what is arguably the most difficult home task to date is to wait, as the opponents are FC 08 Homburg in second place, who may still have some wind in their sails from the aforementioned game against Kassel. Schmidt asks: “We just have to be more efficient in front of goal and sometimes reward ourselves with goals for good performances. Of course we want to keep the clean sheet we have at home on Saturday and stay there!”
With the same number of points as Homburg, the FSV Mainz 05 U23s are chasing and closing in on favorites against FC Rot-Weiss Koblenz (16th). Jan Siewert’s team wants to avoid déjà-vu at all costs, then last weekend against Worms the starting position was similar and the result was a 2-3 defeat. At least Rhine Hesse got back on the road to success against Hoffenheim II during the week (3: 1).
TSV Steinbach Haiger can also look up, fourth in the table playing at home against FSV Frankfurt, who have a devastating record of zero points and 1:11 goals on a foreign pitch.
The duel for promotion between Eintracht Trier (17th) and Wormatia Worms (13th) promises to be exciting. Although the citizens of the Moselle – according to the position in the table – are still very slow, SG Barockstadt closed the black series with five straight defeats (0: 0) on Tuesday. The worms recognized their offensive weaknesses and reacted by hiring Anil Gözütok and Melvyn Lorenzen.
Saturday will end with the duels between FC-Astoria Walldorf and TSG Balingen and Bahlinger SC and TSG Hoffenheim II.
Ulm can also fight
Sunday is the turn of the SSV Ulm 1846 management. The sparrows receive the SGV Freiberg. During the week, the Ulmers demonstrated in adverse conditions at the home of strong FSV Frankfurt that they master the fighting component well and that defense can continue to be a bargaining chip on the way to a possible promotion.
Before the match against VfB Stuttgart II, who scored once again after falling behind in Freiberg’s 2-2 draw, VfR Aalen received bad news from a personal point of view: the knee injury suffered in the match of Kickers Offenbach last weekend made his voice felt in center-back and vice-captain Ali Odabas exposed for a partial internal ligament injury. The 28-year-old will miss four to five weeks.
