Grobbardorf in a duel with the team of the hour

Tsv grobbardorf – spvgg bayern hof (saturday, 4 p.M.) after two defeats in a row against eltersdorf and gebenbach and a draw at wurzburger FV, bavarian league team grobbardorf receives fourth-placed spielvereinigung bayern hof with its coach alexander spindler in another top match on saturday. While the TSV is rather weak, the spielvereinigung is surfing a wave of success.

After a successful start to the season with three wins and a draw in the first four games, hofer began a negative series of four games without a win (one draw, three defeats) with the 0:4 defeat in aubstadt. But then the upper franconians started a series of five wins in a row. Neumarkt was beaten 3:0; the U 23 of the wurzburger kickers had no chance in a 4:0 win. Erlangen-bruck was defeated 1:0 and last but not least there were two 3:1 victories in forchheim and against ansbach.

The upper franconians would now like to continue this series in the bioenergy arena, especially since the statistics look catastrophic for the grave fields. Because they have not been able to beat the hofer at home since the 2010/11 season. They even conceded five defeats in a row, the last one in the past season with 0:1.

Coach andre betz and his players now want to forget this negative series against the bavarians. "The guest will appear with a broad chest due to his success series with us. So it will certainly not be an easy task. But after the 1-1 draw at the strong wurzburger FV, we want to play for a win at home again. My boys have been working meticulously with full commitment in training for weeks, which will hopefully pay off soon in the end.", says betz.

Player florian dietz, who was always in the starting lineup when he wasn’t injured and usually played on the right wing, is also optimistic. "In training, we spurt the commitment. There’s fire in it. We want to put that into practice in the game against hof. We want to stay on top and not lose touch with the leaders. I am confident that we will succeed in this endeavor, as we have regained our self-confidence with the last draw."

Dietz is satisfied with his performance so far, but believes there is still plenty of room for improvement. The ambitious 21-year-old business informatics student was very keen to follow up his first goal of the current season with another against hof in the 1-1 draw in the first game at neumarkt. More important, however, is the desired three against the upper franconians.

Betz can fall back on almost the entire squad. In addition, tobas fleischer will be available again. The fact that maximilian mosandl has joined team training is also pleasing. He is not yet an option for hof, but he should return to the squad in the foreseeable future. Also lukas dinkel will participate in the training again in the coming week. Not yet ready are the still injured lukas illig and pascal stahl.
