MARBURG, Germany (Interstat) — Two sides seeking to reverse recent slides will meet Saturday when 1905 Marburg hosts Turk Friedberg in an Oberliga Hessen fixture.

The match at Georg-Gaßmann-Stadion kicks off at 2 p.m. local time.

Turk Friedberg (6-5-4) enters on a two-game losing skid, having failed to score in either defeat. Most recently, they fell 1-0 at home to Waldgirmes on March 13. Their form has been inconsistent, with the losses to Waldgirmes and a 4-0 defeat at FC Gießen on Feb. 24 bookending a three-month winter break. Earlier season results highlight their volatility, including a 6-1 win over Turabdin Babylon but also heavy 5-0 and 4-0 losses to Eddersheim and FC Gießen, respectively.

1905 Marburg (4-9-2) is also looking to halt a negative run, having lost three consecutive matches. They are coming off a 3-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt II on April 10, preceded by 1-0 losses to ET Stadtallendorf and SV Hummetroth. Their attack has struggled, blanked in four of their last five outings. A 2-1 win at Eddersheim on March 22 stands as their only victory since late November.

The matchup presents a contrast in offensive production. Turk Friedberg has shown a higher scoring ceiling, netting multiple goals in four of its listed fixtures. 1905 Marburg has scored more than one goal just twice in its last ten games, relying on a tighter defense that has kept matches close.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Turk Friedberg’s attacking edge is projected to prevail in a narrow away victory, with a final score of 2-1.

History from this season offers little direct guidance, as this is the first scheduled meeting between the clubs in the 2025-26 Oberliga campaign. Both teams sit mid-table, making the points valuable for positioning ahead of the season’s final weeks.

The forecast for Marburg on Saturday calls for partly cloudy skies with a high of 14 degrees Celsius (57 degrees Fahrenheit).
