ROSTOCK, Germany (Interstat) — Hansa Rostock aims to extend its dominant run Sunday against a reeling 1. FFV Erfurt side when the teams meet in a Regionalliga fixture at the Ostseestadion.

Hansa Rostock enters the May 31 contest riding a wave of offensive firepower. The club erupted for a 6-1 victory over FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin on Saturday, pushing its goal tally to 24 over its last six matches across all competitions. The home side has won five of those six outings, with the only blemish a 3-0 loss to SV Eintracht Leipzig-Sud on May 17.

Erfurt arrives in starkly different form. The visitors have lost four of their last five matches, including a 6-1 drubbing at RB Leipzig II on Tuesday. The lone bright spot during that stretch was a 2-1 win at Zeiss Jena II on April 26. Overall, Erfurt owns a 4-6 record in its last 10 league games.

The head-to-head history provides a glimmer of hope for the visitors. When these clubs last met Nov. 30, Erfurt secured a commanding 4-1 home victory over Hansa Rostock. That result stands as an outlier against the current trajectory of both teams.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 final score in favor of Hansa Rostock. The outlet’s ELO system gives the home side a 95.10 percent probability of victory, underscoring the disparity in recent performances.

Erfurt’s season has been marked by inconsistency. The club posted notable wins over 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam (2-0 on March 8) and 1. FFV Erfurt’s 2-0 result at Turkiyemspor R-B on March 15. But heavy losses to top-tier competition — including a 5-0 defeat at Hertha BSC on May 10 and a 4-0 home loss to Hertha on April 22 — have exposed defensive vulnerabilities.

Hansa Rostock has demonstrated resilience and depth. The club’s schedule included a 4-3 win at Saarbrücken on May 16, a 5-3 victory over Stuttgart on May 9, and a 4-1 result at TUS Makkabi on May 17. The only recent setbacks came against Alemannia Aachen (1-1 draw on May 2) and Jahn Regensburg (5-2 loss on April 25).

Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. local time.
