Ludwigshafen against Niederkirchen: Derby duel The outsider!

Oggersheim, Deutschland - Derby fever in the women's association league: The 1st FFC Ludwigshafen faces a real challenge! On Sunday at 3 p.m., the promoters receive the traditional club 1. FFC Niederkirchen on the district sports facility in Oggersheim. The sign could not be clearer - the Ludwigshafeners are the underdogs!

trainer Benedikt Leimbach looks back on a bumpy start. After 14 unbeaten games in the Landesliga, which secured the ascent, his young team in the association league still has difficulty finding their way around. "We really paid tuition at the beginning," admits Leimbach. With just one win from ten games, a 4-0 against the bottom of the FFC Kaiserslautern, the pressure is enormous. Another game that was broken off against FFV Fortuna Göcklingen is still in floating over the team, and Leimbach hopes for the points afterwards.

bad luck and exploitation of opportunities

The situation becomes even more complicated by injuries. With Michelle Magin and Antonia Münch, two key players are missing, which the team weakens strongly. "We score our chances and do not use them," explains Leimbach frustrated. A recurring pattern shows that the team was 0: 2 in Breitenthal, fought back, but left the decisive chances and finally lost 5: 2. "It will be difficult if the success fails," warns the trainer.

Against strong 1st FFC Niederkirchen, which is in second place in the table, the Ludwigshafen women are clearly in the outsider role. But Leimbach remains optimistic: "We look at ourselves and try to play our game." A brave plan that might lead to success - an exciting derby is imminent!
