Cellar duels in the regional league: Oberhausen against Velbert in focus!
An exciting Sunday is just around the corner, because on August 24th, 2025, several important basement duels will be played as part of the 5th matchday of the Regionalliga West. The focus is particularly on the games between RW Oberhausen and SSVg Velbert as well as Sportfreunde Lotte against the U21 of 1. FC Köln. All games start at 2 p.m. and the constellations of these encounters in particular promise a lot of excitement.
In Oberhausen, the game will be played at the Niederrhein Stadium, where the hosts from RW Oberhausen will meet a winless SSVg Velbert after a mediocre start to the season. According to fupa.net, both teams were able to gain self-confidence in the Lower Rhine Cup, but so far they have not achieved a convincing performance in the league.
The starting position of the teams
RW Oberhausen is currently in 15th place with just 3 points and has suffered four defeats in the last five games, resulting in a goal difference of 5:11. The last win was on August 10th, when they defeated Bonner SC 3-1. Before that it was rather tough: a 1:5 against Fortuna Köln and a 0:2 against FC Gütersloh are just a few of the bitter results this season. The statistics also speak for themselves, with an average of 1.33 goals scored and 1.73 goals conceded on the other hand.
The SSVg Velbert is in last place in the table with a modest 2 points. The Velberters are still waiting for their first win of the season, but at least they only narrowly lost their last game against Borussia Mönchengladbach II with 1:2. They have also scored 9 goals and conceded 9 this season, which indicates a certain goal threat. Their greatest hopes rest on the offense, which is significantly more active than the defense with 2.67 goals per game.
The duel in detail
If we look at the main rivalry in recent meetings, RW Oberhausen has the upper hand. In the last five meetings they recorded 3 wins and one draw. The last duel ended on February 6th with a clear 0:3 for Oberhausen. But the course of the season makes the signs appear somewhat different. Fans can look forward to this clash being filled with emotion and the urgency to secure points.
Another interesting match takes place between Sportfreunde Lotte and 1. FC Köln U21. Lotte has 4 points so far and is therefore the only team of the four mentioned not in a relegation zone. This could give them the advantage they need in this clash, even though they only have one point more than the two basement children, RW Oberhausen and Köln II. An exciting head-to-head race for the important points is guaranteed.
The coming matchday is particularly important for the teams: There will be more thrilling encounters on August 29th and 30th, 2025, so the pressure must not be lost under any circumstances. So it will be interesting to see how the teams will get out of the current situation.
How the whole thing will ultimately develop remains to be seen. The regional league often has its own rules, and surprises could be the order of the day this time too. If you look at soccervital.com or soccerstats.com for detailed statistics, you will find that each of the both teams could reach their potential. In any case, it will be an exciting weekend for all football fans in the region!
