Aachen against Saarbrücken: Derby duel under pressure at the Tivoli!

Today, November 2nd, 2025, there is an exciting game on the program in the 3rd league: Alemannia Aachen meets 1. FC Saarbrücken. The duel, which kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in Aachen's Tivoli, could point the way for both teams. While Aachen is under pressure, Saarbrücken is looking for a turnaround.

Aachen has only achieved one home game win from six matches this season and interim coach Ilyas Trenz's team is lagging behind in the table. After a series of five defeats at the beginning of the season, Aachen has at least managed to stabilize its form after a recent win against Wiesbaden. The club also recently made a coaching change by dismissing Benedetto Muzzicato. Trenz will now take on the challenge of bringing about a turnaround under pressure.

Combative Saarbrücken

1. FC Saarbrücken is also not feeling well. After five games without a win and two defeats in a row, coach Alois Schwartz described the current phase as a “small phase of weakness”. This should be changed in a timely manner in order to maintain access to the promotion places. Many absences are putting a strain on the team: four players have long-term injuries, while two others, Maurice Multhaup and Luca Wollschläger, are questionable due to injury.

Despite the challenges, the Saarlanders are determined to show a different face at the Tivoli. Aachen has performed better in the last duels, winning seven of the last eight matches. Nevertheless, the Saarbrücken team remains hopeful that switching to a three-man chain can provide more defensive stability. This tactical change could be the key to success.

Particular importance for both teams
