Kleve in the relegation battle: urgent point win against Niederwenigern!
The 1. FC Kleve is deep in the relegation battle after a bitter defeat in the Oberliga Niederrhein. In the first game after the winter break, the team suffered a 0-5 loss to FC Büderich last Friday. The three penalty were particularly controversial, all of which were transformed by Kevin. Kleve's captain Fabio Forster received a yellow-red card and will be missing for the next important game. The sporting director Georg Mewes described the opponent's first four goals as irregular, which further fueled the already tense mood. However, coach Umut Akpinar would like to look ahead after the debacle and concentrate on the coming game.
Currently the 1. FC Kleve has only four points ahead of relegation place 16, which illustrates the urgency of the next game against Sportfreunde Niederwenigern next Friday at 8 p.m. Despite the bad start to the second half of the season, the table shows that Niederwenigern weakened at the beginning of the season. You could only score three points before the team stabilized before the winter break.
injury problem and alternatives
In the personnel situation, Kleve faces further challenges. Stamm keeper Ahmet Taner fights with flu, while 19-year-old Miguel Nefian is likely to be canceled due to a virus. In addition, central defender Philipp Divis has a ligament injury and is in running training. Alternatives must now be found for the injured Fabio Forster; Nathnael Scheffler, Luka Grlic and Niklas Klein-Wiele are possible candidates.
The minimum goal for the upcoming match against Niederwenigern is a tie to protect the lead over the relegation zone. In the first leg, Kleve was able to convince with a 2-0 win, but with the current form the team is encouraged to demonstrate their mentality and operational readiness. In this context, Mewes emphasizes the importance of mentality in this duel so as not to fall deeper into the relegation zone.
competition and table situation
For the 1. FC Kleve, it is crucial to make the next games successfully so as not to get into the downward strudel. The upcoming games could be crucial for the entire season, as the team has to do everything possible to free themselves from the dangerous zone.
