Kickers Offenbach stand in front of a key game against the Stuttgart Kickers!

On March 21, 2025, the duel between the Kickers Offenbach and the Stuttgart Kickers is eagerly awaited. Stephan Mensah, the talented foreign striker of the Kickers Offenbach, has a connection to his upcoming opponent: In the first leg on September 13, 2024, he scored 2-0 to 10,451 spectators. This memory will surely resonate in his thoughts when he competes against the Stuttgart Kickers on Saturday.

In the last seven point games, however, Mensah was only sporadically involved in the action and had to watch four times. His last goal is now a few months ago; However, he continues to act as a top joker in the league with a total of five goals and five templates, all achieved as a substitute. This statistics show the potential that is in Mensah, even if his self -confidence has suffered lately according to coach Christian Neidhart.

The way to success

Stephan Mensah, born on June 1, 2000 in Karlsruhe, played his first football years at Karlsruher SC. From there he moved to SpVgg Unterhaching in 2019 and started his career at a professional level. He made his debut on October 26, 2019 when he was substituted in the game against FSV Zwickau. After a loan to TSV 1860 Rosenheim, he returned in 2022 and then switched to Chemnitz FC.

The path he covered to the Kickers Offenbach was characterized by several changes. His current association is now responsible for developing the potential of the promising wing player. Despite his successful role as a joker, the concern with coach Neidhart is that Mensah cannot set the necessary impulses in important moments to influence the game.

a pioneering game

In the upcoming game, the focus will be on defense of the two teams, since both teams form the best defensive series of the Regionalliga Südwest. So far, both teams in 24 games have conceded 23 goals each. Offenbach, however, did better offensive: With 54 goals scored, the team is ahead of Stuttgart, who was able to score 44 goals.

Around 2,000 fans from Offenbach will create the necessary mood if you cheer on your team. Trainer Neidhart emphasizes the importance of this game and emphasizes that the team must continuously collect points in order to achieve their own goals. The pressure will be on the shoulders of his players, especially on Mensah, who now has the opportunity to prove his skills.
