COLOGNE, Germany (Interstat) — ET Hohkeppel visits Fortuna Koeln II on Monday, May 25, in an Oberliga matchup that carries significant momentum for the visitors.

ET Hohkeppel enters the contest on a three-match unbeaten run, including a 3-1 victory at SF Duren on May 17. The team has displayed offensive firepower in recent weeks, scoring five or more goals in three of its last five matches — a 6-1 thrashing of B-W Koenigsdorf on May 10 and a 5-1 win over SpVg Porz 1919 on April 12. However, defensive lapses have also surfaced, as evidenced by a 4-2 loss to Bergisch Gladbach on March 22 and a 3-1 defeat at SSV Bornheim on May 3.

Fortuna Koeln II has struggled to find consistency. The hosts dropped a 3-2 decision at B-W Koenigsdorf on May 17, their fourth loss in the last six outings. Draws have been a recurring theme, with Fortuna settling for 2-2 results against SpVg Porz 1919 on April 19 and Wegberg-Beeck on April 10. The team’s last victory came March 22, a 2-1 decision over Frechen. Fortuna has managed only two clean sheets in its past 10 matches.

The teams met Nov. 30, with ET Hohkeppel claiming a 2-1 victory on its home ground. Interstat’s game simulator projects a repeat result Monday: ET Hohkeppel 2, Fortuna Koeln II 1.

Both clubs face quick turnarounds. ET Hohkeppel hosts GFC Düren on May 31, followed by a trip to Pesch on June 7. Fortuna Koeln II welcomes SF Duren on May 31 and travels to GFC Düren on June 7.
