DUDENHOFEN, Germany (Interstat) — Dudenhofen hosts Diefflen on Saturday in an Oberliga clash that pits two sides trending in opposite directions. The match, scheduled for May 9, 2026, carries playoff implications as the season winds down.

Dudenhofen enters the game unbeaten in its last five outings, though three of those were draws. The most recent result — a 3-1 loss at Pirmasens on May 2 — snapped a four-match streak without defeat. Before that, the side played scoreless draws against Auersmacher and Morlautern, and tied TuS Koblenz 1-1. Its only convincing win in that stretch came March 21, a 3-0 shutout of Eisbachtaler Sportfreunde. Overall, Dudenhofen has shown defensive resilience, allowing more than one goal only twice in its last 10 matches.

Diefflen, by contrast, has lost five of its last six contests. A 3-2 defeat at home to Hertha Wiesbach on May 2 followed a string of lopsided results: 5-2 to Kaiserslautern II, 4-1 to R-W Koblenz, and 3-2 to VfR Wormatia 08 Worms. The lone bright spot was a 2-1 win at Eppelborn on March 10. Diefflen’s defense has been porous, conceding at least three goals in four of those six games. The team’s only other victory this season came Nov. 22, a 2-1 decision at Eisbachtaler Sportfreunde.

The head-to-head history provides little comfort for Diefflen. The most recent meeting, Oct. 25, 2025, saw Dudenhofen win 4-3 at home. That result extends a pattern of high-scoring affairs between the sides.

The Interstat game simulator projects a 3-1 victory for Dudenhofen, reflecting both its home advantage and current form.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at the Dudenhofen Sportplatz.
