VfL Osnabrück fights back: dreams of promotion after victory!

In the 3rd league, things are going well again for VfL Osnabrück! The team achieved a brilliant starting position with a 2-1 away win at 1. FC Schweinfurt on matchday 12. Thanks to this success, Osnabrück moved up to fourth place and now has points with third-placed SC Verl. Coach Timo Schultz is visibly relieved about his club's 200th third division victory and shows that the team has found its feet in the league again.

Particularly eye-catching was the debut of David Kopacz, who both scored a goal and prepared one. This performance clearly shows that a breath of fresh air is blowing through the team, which has started a remarkable winning streak under coach Tobias Schweinsteiger. Will this result in a possible return to the upper house? The dreams of advancement are within reach. Osnabrück has scored 21 points in the last seven games, which makes it a real candidate for promotion. The gap to the relegation place is now only two points.

The competition never sleeps

In order to underpin these ambitions, not only your own performance is crucial, but also the results of your competitors. SC Verl won impressively 5-0 against SSV Ulm, while Energie Cottbus was able to temporarily take the lead in the table with 4-3 against TSV Havelse. Coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz from Cottbus is dissatisfied with his team's negligence despite the victory. 1. FC Saarbrücken also suffered a 1-2 defeat against Ingolstadt, which plunged coach Alois Schwartz deep into crisis.

The current circumstances mean not only being a hunter, but also the hunted. In the next game, Osnabrück will face MSV Duisburg, another test in their promotion race. Coach Schweinsteiger, who has only been in office since the end of August, and captain Marc Heider emphasize the need to concentrate on each individual game - the bond with the committed fans plays a crucial role in this.

Local stars in focus

Another reason for the success story is the close connection to the fans. Local talents like Omar Traoré and Timo Beermann particularly stand out in the team, while the use of captain Heider as a joker regularly ensures important goals. “We are making really good progress,” says Schweinsteiger, emphasizing respectful interaction within the team as a key factor in the success story.

The positive development of VfL Osnabrück is not just the result of sporting achievements. Rather, after the recent change in the 3rd league, especially since the changes to the promotion mode, the entire club structure shows how important it is to constantly work on yourself. From the 2023/24 season onwards, an away goals rule was waived, which redefined the possibility of promotion. The shift in the rules has played into Osnabrück's hands and could further open the door to promotion.

VfL Osnabrück is currently excited for the next home game against SpVgg Bayreuth, which promises the fans another exciting match. Exciting times in the city on the left Weser.
