LIPPSTADT, Germany (Interstat) — Lippstadt 08 will host Erkenschwick on Sunday, May 3, in an Oberliga matchup at Stadion am Bruchbaum.

Lippstadt enters the game with a mixed recent run but a decisive head-to-head advantage. The home side posted a 1-0 win over Schermbeck on April 19, then dropped a 1-0 decision at ASC Dortmund on April 25. Prior to that, Lippstadt lost 3-0 at SV Westfalia Rhynern on April 12 and played a scoreless draw at ET Rheine on April 6.

Erkenschwick has been inconsistent, with one win in its last five league matches. The visitors drew 3-3 at Victoria Clarholz on April 22, following a 0-0 draw at Schermbeck on April 12 and a 3-2 loss at SV Westfalia Rhynern on April 6. Earlier in the month, Erkenschwick played a 0-0 draw at ET Rheine on April 2.

The most recent head-to-head meeting between the two clubs came Nov. 16, 2025, when Lippstadt routed Erkenschwick 4-0 at home. That result extended Lippstadt’s recent dominance in the series.

Lippstadt’s overall season form shows seven wins, four draws and six losses in league play through April 25. The team has been solid defensively at home, conceding just 1.2 goals per match on average.

Erkenschwick has struggled on the road, with three wins, three draws and six losses away from home this season. The club has scored only 11 goals in its last 12 league matches, while conceding 18.

A simulated projection by Interstat forecasts a 1-1 draw on Sunday. The model points to both teams’ recent tendency toward low-scoring affairs and tight defensive battles in the Oberliga.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time. The game is part of the 30th round of the Oberliga Westfalen season. Both teams are mid-table in the 18-team division and looking to build momentum for the final stretch of the campaign.

Lippstadt will be without forward Lukas Müller, who picked up a red card in the April 25 loss to ASC Dortmund. He is suspended for one match. Erkenschwick has no reported suspensions but midfielder Jonas Weber is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury.

The referee assignment was not announced as of Friday. Weather forecasts call for partly cloudy skies and temperatures around 16 degrees Celsius at kickoff.

The match marks the second meeting between the two clubs this season. Lippstadt leads the all-time series in the Oberliga era with a 4-1-2 record over the past three seasons.
