Hessen Kassel vs. Greuther Furth: Regionalliga Showdown Set for Sunday

KASSEL, Germany (Interstat) — Hessen Kassel hosts Greuther Furth on Sunday in a Regionalliga clash that pits two sides with contrasting recent fortunes against each other. Kickoff is scheduled for May 17, 2026, at Kassel’s Auestadion.

Greuther Furth enters the match on a high note after a 2-0 victory over Basel on May 3, a result that snapped a two-game losing streak. Prior to that, Furth had fallen 2-1 at Karlsruher on the same day, and lost 1-0 at home to SC Sand II on March 29. However, the team showed offensive firepower earlier in the season, including a 6-1 win at VfL Herrenberg and a 6-1 victory at Eintracht Frankfurt III. Overall, Furth’s season has been marked by inconsistency: wins against Karlsruher (3-1) and FFC Wacker Munchen (5-1) were offset by losses to Hoffenheim II and Offenbacher FC Kickers.

Hessen Kassel, meanwhile, is coming off a 2-0 defeat at Hoffenheim II on May 10, a result that ended a modest two-game unbeaten run. Prior to that, Kassel edged VfL Herrenberg 1-0 on May 3 and played to a scoreless draw at FFC Wacker Munchen on April 4. The team’s most notable performance was a wild 5-4 win at Eintracht Frankfurt III on April 26, but defensive lapses have plagued them: a 5-2 loss at SC Sand II in March and a 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher in March. Kassel’s record includes a 3-0 win over Freiburg II and a 4-1 victory over SG Haitz earlier in the campaign.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the matchup is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, suggesting a tightly contested affair. Both teams will look to improve their standing in the Regionalliga, where consistency has been elusive. Furth’s attack, capable of erupting for multiple goals, will test a Kassel defense that has shown vulnerability. Kassel, however, has demonstrated resilience at home and will seek to capitalize on any Furth defensive errors.

Sunday’s match marks the second meeting between the clubs this season. With playoff implications looming, neither side can afford to drop points. Furth will rely on its recent momentum, while Kassel aims to rebound from its loss to Hoffenheim II. The stage is set for a competitive 90 minutes in the heart of Germany’s fourth-tier league.
