PFORZHEIM, Germany (Interstat) — CfR Pforzheim looks to build on a narrow road win when it hosts Goppinger SV on Saturday in an Oberliga Baden-Württemberg clash at Stadion im Brühl.

The home side enters the May 9 match after a 2-1 victory at Normannia Gmund on May 2. Pforzheim (10 wins, 8 draws, 8 losses) has won three of its last four league games, with the lone blemish a 3-3 home draw against FSV 08 Bietigheim-Bissingen on April 24. The team has scored at least twice in four of its past five outings, including a 5-0 thrashing of Denzlingen on April 4 and a 3-0 shutout of Ravensburg on April 11.

Goppinger SV (5 wins, 7 draws, 14 losses) arrives off a 4-1 defeat at Turk Neckarsulm on May 1, a result that extended a troubling trend. The visitors have lost six of their last eight matches, with the only bright spot a 3-2 victory at Turkischer Singen on April 12. Goppinger has conceded at least three goals in four of those eight contests, including an 8-1 humiliation at Ravensburg on April 12.

The head-to-head record favors Goppinger. In the most recent meeting Oct. 25, 2025, Goppinger defeated Pforzheim 3-1 at home. That result snapped a streak of three straight Pforzheim wins in the series, but Goppinger has not lost to Pforzheim in their past two encounters.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 win for Pforzheim, a scoreline that would mirror the home side’s recent offensive output. Pforzheim has been especially strong in front of its own fans, where it has outscored opponents 22-12 this season. Goppinger, meanwhile, has managed only six goals in 13 road matches.

The match carries significance for both sides. Pforzheim sits mid-table at 38 points, while Goppinger languishes near the bottom with 22 points, six clear of the relegation zone with six matches remaining.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time.
