SOCCER PREVIEW: Kottern at Türkgücü München

MUNICH (Interstat) — A computer simulation projects Kottern will defeat Türkgücü München 2-0 on Saturday, May 2, in an Oberliga matchup that pits a visiting side looking to rebound against a home team desperate to end a lengthy winless streak.

Kottern (5-6-8 in its last 19 matches across all competitions) arrives at the Stadion an der Grünwalder Straße after a 4-1 home loss to Nördlingen on April 25. That defeat snapped a three-match unbeaten run for Kottern, which had posted a 2-0 win over SV Erlbach on April 21 and a 1-1 draw at TuS Geretsried on April 14. The visitors have shown offensive potency this season, posting shutout victories over Sturm Hauzenberg (3-0 on April 11) and Schald-Heining (4-0 on April 6), but have also endured lopsided losses (Interstat) — including a 3-0 defeat at Heimstetten on Feb. 28.

Türkgücü München (0-4-16 in its last 20 contests) has not won a match since at least Nov. 29, 2025, and enter Saturday having lost or drawn 15 consecutive games. The home side managed a 0-0 draw against FC Pipinsried on April 25 (Interstat) — its only point in the last seven outings. Prior to that, Türkgücü suffered a 4-0 home loss to SF Schwaig on April 11 and a 3-0 defeat at Gundelfingen on April 6. The club has been outscored 18-1 in its last five matches, with the lone goal coming in a 2-2 draw at Schald-Heining on April 18.

Saturday’s fixture marks the second meeting between the clubs this season. Kottern defeated Türkgücü 2-0 in the previous encounter.

Kickoff is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time. The Oberliga (Interstat) — the fifth tier of German football (Interstat) — features clubs from the Bavaria region. Türkgücü München sits near the bottom of the league table, while Kottern occupies a mid-table position.
