Lok Leipzig wants compensation against Greifswalder FC – home series in view!

The Northeast Football Regional League has once again provided exciting confrontations, and a particularly revealing encounter is just around the corner: 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig will welcome Greifswalder FC to the Bruno Plache Stadium on November 22nd. It will be a crucial game for both teams, although the starting position could hardly be clearer.

The locomotive from Leipzig is currently one of the top teams in the league. After 16 match days they are at the top with 23 points and have achieved a total of 12 wins, 1 draw and only 2 defeats in the current season. They are a force, especially in their home stadium: They have won all 7 home games and have an impressive defensive department that has only conceded 9 goals in 15 games - a league record. However, the most recent defeat against BFC Preussen (0:2) has shaken up coach Müller's team and now they need to make amends. A win is considered necessary to keep the competition at a distance, and in view of the previous encounters against Greifswalder FC, the stronger opponents, the goal is clear: nothing other than victory.

Greifswald looking for points

On the other side is Greifswalder FC, who are currently in 15th place with a somewhat tedious score of just 14 points. The record of 3 wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats shows that the away games represent a real challenge for FC; They were only able to collect 5 points on enemy territory. After a positive turnaround in recent games where they picked up 2 wins and 2 draws, the team will be hoping to build on their form.

From a historical perspective, the record between both teams is interesting. In the last 6 meetings, the teams have faced each other once, with Lok Leipzig recording 1 win and Greifswald 3 wins, and there were 2 draws. The goals also speak for the guests: 10 goals for Greifswald, 5 goals for Leipzig in these duels. If you look at the comparison of the last games, it becomes clear that Greifswald had the opportunity to score at least one goal in 50% of the matches against Leipzig.

Statistics and insights

The statistics underline the picture of a match that will be characterized by defensive strategies and at the same time the challenge of setting offensive accents. While Lok Leipzig has an average of 3 points per home game, the guests from Greifswald only have 0.63 points per away game. These numbers shed further light on the difficult starting position for the guests.

There's a lot at stake for both teams on Saturday. While Leipzig will do everything in its power to finish the first half of the season confidently, Greifswalder FC is hoping for important away points to free themselves from the relegation zone. Football fans can look forward to a thrilling exchange of blows in the Bruno Plache Stadium.
