Essen.
The struggle for promotion in the regional league is entering the decisive phase. But who has the hardest remaining program? What does RWE do? An overview.
–
Two teams fought in the past Regionalliga-Season up to the last matchday for the championship and promotion to the 3rd league, Red and white food and BVB II, who prevailed in the end. At the beginning of spring this season, five clubs still have realistic chances of making the leap into professional football. league leader Prussia Munster (67 points) and fifth in the table Rot-Weiss Oberhausen (58) are separated by only nine points, RWO also played one game less. Also still in the running: favorite Rot-Weiss Essen (66), Fortune Cologne (61) and the Wuppertal SV (60).
Rot-Weiss Essen responded with victory in Wiedenbrück
A few weeks ago it looked like it would RWE outperform the competition. The defeat on the green at the table after the game was abandoned against Prussia and the surprising bankruptcy on Wednesday evening at Rot Weiss Ahlen made the promotion race exciting again and put the favored Essen team under significant pressure. The Essen team withstood the pressure on Saturday. In Wiedenbrück, coach Christian Neidhart’s team won 1-0 (0-0). Preußen Münster did their homework in the 2-0 win over VfB Homberg. RWE still have it in their own hands with a point behind and a catch-up game. The comfortable lead was almost lost due to the two defeats and the 3:3 at Fortuna Köln.
Nine games remain Red and white food still. The rest of the program can be described as feasible. RWE plays only four of the nine remaining games against teams from the top half of the table. In addition, there is only one game left against a direct competitor, on April 5th in Oberhausen. However, the away games in Aachen (April 10) or Rödinghausen (May 7) are anything but easy.
