CHAM, Germany (Interstat) — Cham hosts Grossschwarzenlohe on Saturday, May 2, in an Oberliga matchup that pits two sides heading in opposite directions against a recent head-to-head trend.

The teams last met Oct. 18, 2025, when Cham won 4-2 at Grossschwarzenlohe. That result extended Cham’s recent dominance (Interstat) — they have won three of the past four meetings.

Cham enters the weekend on a three-match unbeaten run. They drew 2-2 at FC Eintracht Bamberg 2010 on April 25, following a 4-2 win at ATSV Erlangen on April 21 and a 2-0 victory at Weiden on April 10. The run includes four wins and two draws in their last six outings, a stretch that lifted them into the upper half of the table.

Grossschwarzenlohe, meanwhile, has struggled. They lost 1-0 at home to Wurzburger FV on April 24, their fourth defeat in five matches. The only bright spot in that span was a 2-1 win at FSV Stadeln 1958 on March 28. Before that, Grossschwarzenlohe endured a five-match winless streak that included a 4-0 home loss to FC Eintracht Bamberg 2010 on March 14 and a 3-0 defeat at Neumarkt on March 7.

Grossschwarzenlohe’s road form has been erratic. They have won twice, drawn twice and lost four times away from home this season. Cham has been solid at home, dropping points only against top-half sides.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw, reflecting the statistical balance between Cham’s recent momentum and Grossschwarzenlohe’s defensive fragility. Cham has scored in nine of their past 10 matches, while Grossschwarzenlohe has conceded in eight of their last 10.

Key absences could shape the result. Grossschwarzenlohe will likely be without midfielder Lukas König, who missed the Wurzburger loss with a hamstring issue. Cham has no reported injuries.

Saturday’s match kicks off at 3 p.m. local time at Cham’s home ground. Both teams are chasing mid-table security, with Cham aiming to push into the top five and Grossschwarzenlohe looking to halt a slide that has dropped them within four points of the relegation zone.

The Oberliga, part of Germany’s fifth-tier football pyramid, features regional clubs from Bavaria. Cham, a town of about 17,000 in the Upper Palatinate, and Grossschwarzenlohe, a village near Nuremberg, have met regularly since Grossschwarzenlohe’s promotion to the league three seasons ago.

Despite the simulator’s pick of a draw, Cham’s recent form and home advantage give them the edge. But Grossschwarzenlohe’s desperation could produce a tight, low-scoring affair.
