MONTABAUR, Germany (Interstat) — Montabaur hosts TuS Issel on Sunday, April 26, 2026, in a Regionalliga matchup that carries playoff implications for both sides.

The home team enters on a three-match winning streak, most recently a 3-1 victory over SC 13 Bad Neuenahr on March 15. Montabaur has been prolific in front of goal this season, scoring seven in a Nov. 16 demolition of SV 1919 Ober-Olm and six in an Oct. 19 rout of Wormatia Worms. The lone blemish in the past five matches was a 4-3 loss at Mainz 05 II on Oct. 26, a game Montabaur led 3-1 before conceding three unanswered goals.

TuS Issel also arrives on a positive note, edging SC Siegelbach 2-1 on March 15 to snap a two-game slide. The visitors have shown resilience in tight contests, winning 4-3 at SV 1919 Ober-Olm on March 8 and 4-1 at home against Elversberg on Nov. 16. But inconsistency has plagued TuS Issel: a 4-0 loss at Saarbrücken on Oct. 26 and a 2-1 defeat at Riegelsberg on Oct. 5 stand in sharp contrast to its high-scoring victories.

The head-to-head record favors Montabaur. In the most recent meeting Oct. 12, 2025, Montabaur earned a 3-2 road victory. That result extended Montabaur’s edge to two straight in the series, though TuS Issel had won the previous two encounters.

A key factor will be Montabaur’s attack, which averages more than three goals per home match this season. TuS Issel’s defense has been vulnerable on the road, allowing at least two goals in three of its last four away games.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-2 win for Montabaur, reflecting the home side’s recent form and offensive firepower. But TuS Issel has shown it can compete in high-scoring affairs, and a fast start could unsettle the hosts.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at Montabaur’s home stadium.
