Altheim is fighting against the trauma of relegation: commitment and hope on Sunday!
Next Sunday, June 13, 2025, the VfB Altheim team has a crucial game on the program. Coach Fabian Halbherr is dissatisfied with the season so far and wants to finally put aside the relegation trauma from the past. His team will meet SGM Gutenzell II/Schönebürg in Biberach at 3 p.m. This game represents the first of two hurdles that Altheim wants to overcome on the way back to the district league.
If you look at the current balance sheet, what stands out is the goal difference of 90 goals from 20 games this season. This puts Altheim 27 goals ahead of their undefeated rivals Riedlingen II. Günter Geiselhart, an experienced returnee from Uttenweiler, has scored an impressive 47 goals. However, Halbherr is worried about the mode in the B league, where the goal difference does not count if the points are tied and a quick rethink could be necessary to change the course of the season.
Challenge Gutenzell
The coach of Gutenzell/Schönebürg II, Florian Schmid, sees Altheim as favorites, but sees the upcoming relegation game as a bonus - a challenge that his team wants to master in a defensively compact manner. Halbherr plans to use an offensive approach from the outside positions in order to overcome the opponents' strong defense. However, the exact atmosphere in the stadium remains a question mark: Altheim is hoping for numerous fans to offer support.
For Altheim it is a bitter reality: the history of relegations is riddled with misunderstandings and disappointing moments, such as last year's defeat against Sigmaringen, which ultimately resulted in relegation. Last but not least, the winner of the game will go into another relegation game against SGM Mettenberg/Rissegg, which will take place on June 21st at 6 p.m. in the Oberschwabenstadion Bad Saulgau. Depending on how the weekend turns out, the tide could turn for Altheim or the trauma could become more entrenched.
