EMPOR GLAUCHAU, Germany (Interstat) — Empor Glauchau will try to extend its strong late-season form when it hosts 1. FC Lok Stendal in an Oberliga match Sunday, May 3, 2026. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. local time at the Stadion an der Alten Seilergasse.

Empor Glauchau (8-5-2 in its last 15 matches) enters the contest on the strength of a decisive 3-1 road victory over Bischofswerdaer FV 08 on April 26. The home side has shown resilience in recent weeks, scoring four goals in a win over FC Grimma on April 19 and taking a 1-0 decision from Plauen on April 9. Overall, Empor Glauchau has won three of its last four league matches and has been particularly dangerous in front of its own fans, where it has posted a 7-2-1 record this season.

1. FC Lok Stendal (6-6-3 in its last 15) comes in having played to a 1-1 draw with Budissa Bautzen on Friday, May 1. The visiting side has struggled to find consistency, with a 2-0 win over Heiligenstadt on April 26 and a 0-2 loss to Einh Wernigerode on April 22. Over its last six matches, 1. FC Lok Stendal has managed just one win, with two draws and three losses. Its defense has allowed two or more goals in three of those contests.

The two sides sit near the middle of the Oberliga table, with Empor Glauchau holding a slim edge in points. The home team has been solid in the second half of the season, while the visitors have faltered, managing just four points from their last five games.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Empor Glauchau, reflecting the home side’s recent momentum and Stendal’s defensive struggles. The models suggest Empor Glauchau’s attack, which has averaged nearly two goals per game at home, will generate sufficient chances against a Stendal side that has allowed an average of 1.5 goals per match over its last seven outings.

For 1. FC Lok Stendal to earn a result, it will need to contain Empor Glauchau’s pace on the counter and find a way to finish its own chances after scoring just once in two of its last three matches. The visitors have shown the ability to hold strong teams, earning a scoreless draw with Union Sandersdorf on April 15.

The game marks the second meeting between the clubs this season. Empor Glauchau took a 2-1 decision on the road in the reverse fixture, a result the simulator sees as likely to repeat.
