Fight for relegation: SV Rinder and TuS Xanten in focus!

On March 20, 2025, an exciting weekend is imminent in the Kleve soccer group, which has some decisive games in the relegation battle and for the promotion places. The SV Rinder welcomes TuS Xanten on Friday evening at 8 p.m., who is currently in 15th place and is in the relegation battle. The situation for the guests is critical, because the leap to the number 13 in the A-Liga would mean relegation.

The TuS Xanten has achieved an impressive turn in the past few weeks and was recently won three times in a row. Coach Marcel Zalewski successfully led the team back to the track of success. The game is also of great importance for SV Rinders, who is looking at a relegation place two. The association wants to provide the TuS shooting aid to maintain its own opportunities.

more exciting encounters on the weekend

On Sunday, several other key games are on the program. At 3:30 p.m. Alemannia Pfalzdorf meets Borussia Veen. Alemannia is also in the relegation battle and, together with TuS Xanten, has 20 points each in the account, while TSV Krefeld-Bockum is only one place above the relegation zone with 22 points. The duel between Viktoria Goch and the TSV Krefeld-Bockum will also be important, since Goch may be able to provide help.

In another game, the DJK Twisteden plays against the bottom of the table SV Hönnepel-Niedermörmter. Twisteden should not allow any slips so as not to get into trouble in the relegation battle. Maximilian Janssen from SV Rinder is currently leading the list of scorers with 21 goals, while Tom Cappel from DJK Twisteden scored 15 goals.

In addition, SV Walbeck and SV Viktoria Winnekendonk receive each other in direct duel. While SV Walbeck has an outstanding series of seven wins and a draw, Viktoria has only performed weak performance in the last games. The SC Blau-Weiß Auwel-Holt also plays for important points against SV Nütterden, who won 2-1 in the first leg.

relegation battle and relegation in other leagues

In addition, the situation in the district league Hameln-Pyrmont is no less exciting. Four out of five teams fight against relegation there. The WTW Wallensen is located at the end of the table, 8 points behind the saving place. Eintracht Afferde and MTSV Aerzen are also in the relegation report, with Afferde four games less than the competition. The SC Harsum is penultimate and has to score in the remaining games.

For this season, various scenarios for promotion and ascent are under discussion. There could be a relegation between the district and district level. This remains the possibility that one or two teams descend while the competition in the lower leagues must adjust to different effects.

An interesting detail for the viewers concerns the relegation games in Bavaria, where a “social surgery” is collected in addition to admission to support people in need within the football family. The amount is not deducted from the regular price and offers associations the opportunity to submit suggestions for the use of funds to the BFV social foundation.

It remains to be seen how the two leagues develop on the weekend. The games in the district of Kleve definitely promise a lot of tension and drama.
