BERGISCH GLADBACH, Germany (Interstat) — Bergisch Gladbach will look to extend their strong recent run when they host SF Duren on Monday, May 25, in an Oberliga matchup that pits a surging home side against a visiting team struggling for form.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. local kickoff.

Bergisch Gladbach (SV Bergisch Gladbach 09) enters the contest on the back of a 4-1 victory over Frechen on May 17, a result that followed a 7-0 thrashing of Pesch on April 19 and a 5-1 win at Hennef 05 on May 3. The home side owns a 2-0 win over B-W Koenigsdorf and a 4-2 victory at ET Hohkeppel in recent weeks, showing offensive firepower. However, Bergisch Gladbach also suffered a 4-1 loss at SSV Merten and a 2-1 defeat at VfL Vichttal in April, revealing occasional defensive lapses.

SF Duren arrives in dire form, having lost nine of its last 10 matches. The visitors most recently fell 3-1 to ET Hohkeppel on May 17, continuing a skid that includes a 6-0 loss at SSV Merten on April 26, a 4-1 defeat at Siegburger SV on March 29, and a 6-1 loss at VfL Vichttal on March 22. The lone bright spot was a 5-0 win over Pesch on March 8, but SF Duren has been outscored 28-6 in its other nine recent outings.

The teams met Nov. 30, 2025, with Bergisch Gladbach winning 3-2 at SF Duren. That result extended Bergisch Gladbach’s recent head-to-head edge.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 3-1 victory for Bergisch Gladbach.

Both teams have quick turnarounds following this fixture. Bergisch Gladbach travels to Wegberg-Beeck on May 31, then hosts SpVg Porz 1919 on June 7. SF Duren visits Fortuna Koeln II on May 31, then hosts Wegberg-Beeck on June 7.

Bergisch Gladbach’s recent offensive production — including seven goals against Pesch and five against Hennef — suggests it will test a Duren defense that has conceded at least three goals in eight of its last 10 matches. Duren will need to find defensive stability and create chances against a Bergisch Gladbach side that has been stingy at home, allowing just two goals in its last three home matches across all competitions.
