Fight for survival: Mörsch needs a miracle against Pfaffenweiler!

On June 17, 2025, FC Pfaffenweiler will have a groundbreaking game in the relegation to the association league. At 4 p.m. there will be a duel against SV Mörsch, who enter the game with a difficult starting situation after the first match day.

In the first meeting, FC Pfaffenweiler had to admit defeat to SV 08 Laufenburg 2:5. Coach Karsten Scheu sees the chances of promotion as extremely low and speaks of less than one percent. “Our team has to improve significantly,” explains Scheu, who insists that the team has to look good when they meet in Mörsch. Historically, Mörsch had already taken part in the relegation last season and was unable to find its way back into the association league.

Historical roots and current challenges

SV Mörsch, founded in 1919, has an eventful history in football. In the 1950s, the club was even in the highest amateur league before experiencing a drastic decline and playing in the district league B until the mid-1990s. The two teams are currently fighting to stay in the South Baden Association League, in which Mörsch was runner-up last season with a score of 60 and a goal difference of 64:39. Above all, the two goal scorers Jan Burkhart and Christof Leiss, who each scored 16 goals, are in the spotlight of the team.

Mörsch's last league game ended in a 4-4 draw against champions SV Niederschopfheim. The home record of SV Mörsch is particularly strong, collecting 38 out of 45 possible points on home soil last season. But in the last few games the club hasn't always been up to speed. Last weekend there was a 2-0 defeat against FC 03 Radolfzell, although the weather - heavy rain in the Karlsruhe football district - did not offer any positive conditions, as ballreiter.futbol reports.

A look at the competition

FC Pfaffenweiler, under the management of Scheu and Patrick Anders, was only able to get the relegation place at the end of the season. In this situation, the encounter against Mörsch comes at the right time to enable us to build up the league. Mörsch, on the other hand, has to rely on the solid defensive work and home strength, while Pfaffenweiler wants to believe in the fighting spirit despite the first setback. Historically, relegation was a serious matter for both teams: SV 08 Laufenburg is a strong opponent that has always done well in the past when it comes to relegation rounds suedbadens-doppelpass.

It remains to be seen how things will turn out for both teams on June 17th. One thing is certain: this clash will not only be about the next three points, but above all about prestige and the hope of a better position in a highly competitive league. The fans can look forward to an exciting duel, while the coaches will do everything in their power to get the best out of their teams.
