Talheim are three points above us. A win on Saturday puts Nordtal level on 27.

Our goal difference is better than anyone expected in August. Talheim beat Südfeld last week and have lost once at home all season, to Kirchberg in the rain.

We beat them 3–2 at the Talstadion in October, which flattered both of us. Their number nine, Maurer, scored twice that day and spent the rest of the afternoon arguing with Vogt.

Team news

Amari should start after two goals off the bench against Weststadt. Reuter is back from his suspension, and Wendt will want him in midfield against a side that plays long. Sander has a tight hamstring and travels, but nobody in the north stand would bet on him playing ninety minutes.

Getting there

  • The supporters’ bus leaves the Talstadion car park at 13:15. Seats are with Grete at the kiosk until Thursday.
  • By train, change at Weststadt and take the 14:02. It is a twenty-minute walk from the station, uphill.
  • Away fans stand behind the goal at the bottom end. There is a roof, which is more than we have at home.
