SC Verl before the big winter coup – Osnabrück is coming!

On Sunday, December 20, 2024, SC Verl has a crucial game: the team welcomes VfL Osnabrück, guided by the ambition to crown the first half of the season with another victory. With 25 points after 18 games, the Verlers are currently in eleventh place in the third division, having recently achieved an impressive 4-0 win against 1860 Munich. The fan base hopes that the team will maintain its strong form and even surpass the previous attendance record of 4,012 fans at the home game against Hansa Rostock, as the NW.de reported.

In contrast, VfL Osnabrück is fighting for survival in the league. With only 14 points and last place in the table, the situation for the guests is dramatic. Osnabrück won 2-0 against Rot-Weiss Essen in the last game under new coach Antwerp, but their away record speaks volumes: only two points have been collected so far. The team has proven itself to be a stubborn opponent, but the form seems to be lacking up front; so far only 21 goals have been scored. This season, the Osnabrück team also received a high number of cards (49 yellow cards), which indicates the high intensity of their games - a circumstance that SC Verl should take seriously, as they do World highlights.

Coach Alexander Ende from SC Verl relies on the tried and tested eleven of the last few weeks and aims to achieve the season goal of 28 points. This last matchday of the first half of the season offers a remarkable opportunity to increase the gap to the neighbors in the table and to demonstrate the fighting strength of the losers. There is a huge appetite for tickets and the fans are hoping for a thrilling game with lots of goals and a continuation of the successful streak!
