HOLTHAUSEN, Germany (Interstat) — Holthausen-Biene hosts Lüneburger SK Hansa on Sunday, May 3, in an Oberliga matchup that pits two clubs seeking consistency against each other.

Holthausen-Biene enters the game after a 4-0 loss at Spelle-Venhaus on April 24, its fifth defeat in its past eight matches.

Overall, Holthausen-Biene has posted three wins, three draws and four losses in its last 10 outings.

Lüneburger SK Hansa, meanwhile, comes off a 2-0 victory over Bor Hildesheim on Thursday, April 30. That result snapped a three-match winless streak that included draws against 1. FC Germania Egestorf/Langreder (1-1 on April 26) and Meppen (1-1 on April 19), and a 3-1 loss at Lupo-Martini on April 15. In its past 10 matches, Hansa has three wins, four draws and three defeats.

The simulator from Interstat projects a 2-1 victory for Holthausen-Biene, though recent head-to-head form offers little clarity. Neither team has dominated the series in the current Oberliga season.
