Fight for points: Viktoria Aschaffenburg meets Wacker Burghausen!

On Friday, September 12th at 7 p.m., stands for the SV Viktoria Aschaffenburg and the SV Wacker Burghausen an exciting duel on the program. This game is the third in just eight days for Aschaffenburg, who are coming from the TOTO Cup quarter-finals after beating 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 on penalties. But the Wacker players are also ready to prove themselves against their strong opponents.

The game will be played in Burghausen, the furthest away location for Aschaffenburg at a distance of 452 kilometers. The home team, which is led by former Bundesliga professional Lars Bender, has set itself an ambitious goal for this part of the season: promotion to the third division should be achieved by 2030. With four wins and three defeats, they are currently ninth in the table, without a single draw this season.

Wacker Burghausen: A strong home team

Coach Lars Bender is optimistic and demands a dominant and controlled style of play from his team throughout the entire game. “We want to demonstrate our home strength,” said Bender. Wacker currently has an impeccable record in the domestic arena; They were able to win against teams like FC Augsburg II and DJK Vilzing. However, away from home, Burghausen suffered three defeats in four games. “We have to win the next game against SpVgg Hankofen-Hailing,” adds Bender.

With Denis Ade and Tom Sanne, who each scored two goals, Wacker is well positioned offensively. The last meeting between the two teams on November 9, 2024 ended goalless, but the direct record speaks in Wacker's favor: they won six of 15 meetings, while Aschaffenburg emerged victorious four times.

Aschaffenburg: In search of form

It will be a difficult journey for Viktoria from Aschaffenburg. They currently have just four points from seven games this season and are struggling with a weak offense that has only managed one goal in 630 minutes and has already conceded 12 goals. Chief coach Aytac Sulu is aware of the challenges and emphasizes that Friday games are particularly stressful, especially for working players. Aschaffenburg also has to prepare for several important absences: Michael Gorbunow is out due to a torn cruciate ligament, while Niklas Biehrer is struggling with muscular problems. Othamane El Idrissi is also unavailable due to a red card from the last game.

Both teams have an even record, but Aschaffenburg's current form will play a crucial role when they compete at the Burghausen stadium. It remains to be seen whether Viktoria will find the momentum for a turnaround in the league through the cup win.
