It's a brand new Oberliga: Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar campaign and Auersmacher are itching to get competitive here at Saar-Blies-Stadion. Arminia Ludwigshafen are visiting and this should be a gripping season launch.
These are full days for the host team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Oberliga: Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar. That game was an away game at Diefflen, so at least Auersmacher are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Auersmacher form and stats
Disaster struck Auersmacher last season as they could not defend their status as a Oberliga: Sudwest team. With 18 defeats from 36 games, and only 9 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Auersmacher are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W5 D5 L8.
This is expected to be a close game, with Auersmacher perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Auersmacher as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Auersmacher has won 2 of these, drawn 0 and lost 3.
The manager will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FC Bitburg in only three days.
