RIEGELSBERG, Germany (Interstat) — Montabaur visits Riegelsberg on Sunday, May 17, 2026, in a Regionalliga matchup that could shake up the middle of the table. Both sides enter on the heels of narrow 2-1 results a week earlier, but the visitors carry far stronger recent form.

Montabaur (7-3-2 in its last 12 games) lost 2-1 at home to Mainz 05 II on May 10, snapping a five-match winning streak. That run included a 7-0 demolition of SV 1919 Ober-Olm on Nov. 16, a 6-1 thumping of Wormatia Worms on Oct. 19, and a 5-1 rout of TuS Issel on Apr. 26. The club also won 3-2 at TuS Issel on Oct. 12 and 2-1 at VfR Wormatia 08 Worms on May 3. Its only other losses this season came against Mainz 05 II (4-3 on Oct. 26), SG 99 Andernach II (2-1 on Oct. 5) and Wissen (4-1 on Aug. 27). Montabaur has outscored opponents 32-14 over its last 10 games.

Riegelsberg (5-5-2 in its last 12 games) edged SC Siegelbach 2-1 on May 10, a much-needed bounce-back after a 4-2 loss at Mainz 05 II on May 3. The home side’s season has been erratic: an 8-1 win over Wormatia Worms on Apr. 26, but also a 5-0 defeat at SC 13 Bad Neuenahr on Mar. 1 and a 5-0 loss to Saarbrucken on Nov. 16. Riegelsberg also fell 2-1 at SC Siegelbach on Oct. 26 and 2-0 at Wormatia Worms on Oct. 12. However, it posted impressive wins over Mainz 05 II (2-1 on Oct. 19) and TuS Issel (2-1 on Oct. 5). The club has scored 18 goals in its last 10 games while conceding 22.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-2 victory for Montabaur, a prediction bolstered by the visitors’ superior scoring depth. Montabaur has averaged 3.1 goals per game over its last eight outings, while Riegelsberg’s back line has been vulnerable, allowing three or more goals in five of its last 10 matches.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time at Riegelsberg’s home stadium. Neither team has announced any significant injury or lineup changes. The Regionalliga, Germany’s fourth tier, features clubs from the southwest region, and Sunday’s result could tighten the chase for promotion playoff spots. Montabaur looks to extend its strong away form; Riegelsberg aims to build momentum after its narrow win.
