Kickers Offenbach: leaders before a historical home game against Trier!

The Offenbacher Kickers have catapulted themselves into an impressive starting position in the Regionalliga Südwest. Today, March 16, 2025, the team takes over the lead and look at the upcoming home game against Eintracht Trier. This is not only the focus of sports, but is also accompanied by an emotional component, since Trier celebrates his 120th anniversary and brings around 1,000 guest fans to Offenbach. The euphoria could lead to a record setting, because more than 10,000 spectators may be expected, which could break the previous league record of 14,414 fans who has been against Waldhof Mannheim in 2019.

coach Christian Neidhart expressed himself confidently, but warns of the fall height and appeals to his team to concentrate on thinking from game to game. "The calm of my team" he praised in advance and emphasized that the Kickers collected seven points in the first three games, including two zero victories. This positive development is also due to the strong achievements of striker Jan Urbich, who was involved in five of the seven goals, but injured his foot in training, which questions his participation in the game against Trier.

injury problem and failures

In addition to Urbich, central defender Arh Cesen will not be able to play due to a yellow lock. It is expected to be replaced by Knothe. The injuries throw a shadow on the good shape of the kickers, which had been six points behind the league before the winter break. After a 1-1 win over Hoffenheim II, the deficit is now only one point, which gives new impetus to the chances of promotion.

The positive development is also evident in the last games, during which the Kickers achieved two clear 3-0 victories against Bahlinger SC and SG Baroque city of Fulda Lehnerz. The players and coaches react to the challenges with a strong team spirit, as Boubacar Barry emphasizes. The newly committed Jannes Wulff, who most recently prepared the second goal in Fulda, has also integrated well to close the gaps that were created by the cruciate ligament rupture of the captain Marc Wachs.

The Regionalliga Südwest has recently scheduled the upcoming game days. The Kickers will meet Eintracht Frankfurt II on April 5 at 2 p.m., followed by a game against FC Homburg on April 11th at 7 p.m. On April 17th, the Offenbacher also received FC Villingen at 7 p.m.
