CHAM, Germany (Interstat) — A crucial Oberliga Bayern Nord matchup on Tuesday pits a surging Cham side against a Wurzburger FV team looking to rebound from a disappointing defeat.

Cham (8-3-5) enters the contest at Lindenstadion in strong form, having secured back-to-back 1-0 victories. Their latest win came on the road against Gebenbach on Saturday. The home side has been stout defensively, conceding only four goals in their last seven matches across all competitions. Their recent form includes a key win over Jahn Regensburg II and a draw with league leaders Vilzing.

Wurzburger FV (6-4-6) aims to shake off a 1-0 away loss to Eltersdorf last Friday. That result halted momentum from a 1-0 win over Gebenbach on March 1. Their season has been marked by volatility, featuring a 6-0 rout of ATSV Erlangen in November but also several multi-goal defeats, including a 5-2 loss to Jahn Regensburg II.

The statistical service Interstat projects a narrow 2-1 victory for the home team.

Cham’s defensive consistency, led by a back line that has kept three clean sheets in its last five outings, will be tested against a Wurzburger attack that has shown both explosiveness and inconsistency. The visitors will need to improve their road form, having won just once in their last four away fixtures.

A win for Cham would solidify their position in the upper tier of the table, while Wurzburger seeks a vital road result to stabilize its campaign before its next fixture against Neudrossenfeld on April 14. Cham’s next scheduled match is at ATSV Erlangen on April 21.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time (1900 GMT) on March 10.
