With 18 points, FC 08 Homburg, second in the regional league, are four points short of leaders SSV Ulm after eight games. With a home win on Friday evening, at 7pm, against the 15th in the standings. Astoria Walldorf want FCH manager Timo Wenzel to bring his team to the point with the Ulm leaders, at least for one night. Saturday they have a difficult task ahead of them at VfR Aalen. The renewed and strengthened team from Homburg had a great start to the season. Most recently, a 2-1 away win was scored against highly traded Kickers Offenbach. But if FCH is already on a “mastering course”, coach Wenzel doesn’t want to sign (yet): “After eight games it’s still too early for that.” FC Homburg must “win three or four games in a row”.
Timo Wenzel would like to “put an end to losses against uncomfortable and seemingly inferior opponents such as SGV Freiberg and SG Barockstadt Fulda as soon as possible”. SSV Ulm has been at the top of the rankings for years and therefore has “more experience in dealing with constant pressure”, says Wenzel: “They always keep calm and believe in themselves. We have to be even more stable there.”
After their games against Walldorf (23 September) and VfB Stuttgart II (1 October), FC Homburg will face what could be the decisive match against SSV Ulm on Sunday 9 October at the Homburg Waldstadion.
