REGIONALLIGA PREVIEW: GREUTHER FURTH VS. EINTRACHT FRANKFURT III

FURTH, Germany (Interstat) — Greuther Furth will look to continue its dominance over Eintracht Frankfurt III when the sides meet Saturday, May 23, in a Regionalliga clash at Sportpark Ronhof.

Greuther Furth (wins-losses record not provided) enters the match after a 3-3 draw at Hessen Kassel on May 17. The result extended a mixed run for the home side, which lost 2-1 at Karlsruher on May 3 after a 2-0 win at Basel on the same day. Earlier in the season, Furth posted lopsided victories: 5-1 over FFC Wacker Munchen, 6-1 at VfL Herrenberg and a 6-1 rout of Eintracht Frankfurt III on Nov. 23.

Eintracht Frankfurt III (record not provided) was blanked 2-0 at home by Hoffenheim II on May 17. The defeat snapped a two-match winning streak that included a 5-0 win at VfL Herrenberg on May 10 and a 2-0 victory at Offenbacher FC Kickers on May 3. However, inconsistency has plagued the visitors. They have lost four of their past six matches, including a 5-4 defeat at Hessen Kassel on April 26 and a 1-0 loss to FFC Wacker Munchen on March 1. The lone bright spot in that stretch was a 2-2 draw at Hessen Kassel on Oct. 19.

Head-to-head, Greuther Furth has had the upper hand. In the most recent meeting Nov. 23, Furth routed Frankfurt III 6-1. That result fits a pattern of high-scoring affairs for Furth, which has scored at least three goals in four of its past seven games.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-1 win for Greuther Furth, and its ELO system gives Furth an 86.50 percent probability of victory.

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