FC Amberg before the clash: Goalkeeping crisis in front of Vohenstrauß!

FC Amberg is in a nerve-wracking phase of the season. After a promising start, in which coach Wagner's team had a good hand right from the start, the “Falcons” are currently in misery: four defeats in a row. The pressure is increasing because the next game against SpVgg Vohenstrauß is coming up, and that will be anything but easy.

The duel takes place on Wednesday evening at 7:15 p.m. and the starting position for Amberg couldn't be trickier. Injuries in the goalkeeper position force the team to go with a field player between the posts. Goalkeeper Tim Schreiner injured his knee in the last meeting against FC Weiden-Ost, and regular goalkeeper Niklas Mecke has also been struggling with an injury for weeks. A stage win against Vohenstrauß would not only be good for morale, but could also help the team finally put the negative series behind them. This raises the question: Who is guarding the gate now?

Strong order, but...

With a strong start to the season, in which FC Amberg was able to show impressive ball possession statistics and versatile attacks in the game against SG Chambtal, everything was still in good order. In the first game, Amberg started with a quick goal - a mistake by the guests led to the lead in the first minute. Amberg created a few chances in the first half and went into the half-time break with a deserved lead. However, it is warned that there is still room for improvement.

In the second half the performance improves significantly, with many chances to score, and the team manages to score two more goals - the second through a nice assist from Pereira and the third through Carswell, leading to a clear 3-0 final score. That was the conclusion of the game: a good start, but even defense and goals need to be further optimized. At least the first successes are already emerging, as Fupa notes.

Opponents on the rise

However, the upcoming opponent Vohenstrauß should not be underestimated. The team have picked up 14 points in their last six games and have built up some good form with their recent 1-0 win against Schlicht. The question therefore arises as to whether Amberg will be able to slow down the opponent's momentum. As the [Mittelbayerische](https://www.mittelbayerische.de/lokales/landkreis-schwandorf/vor-nachholspiel-gegen-vohenstrauss-fc-amberg- stands-ohne-etatmaessigen-torwart-da-14311415) reports, this match will be crucial in order to gain self-confidence and strengthen the moral strength of the team.

A look at the coming challenges shows that FC Amberg remains in active communication.
