TEISTUNGEN, Germany (Interstat) — Regional German sides Chemie Leipzig and SC Freital will meet in a club friendly on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, at the Kunstrasen Am Klosterholz.

The match serves as a winter preparation fixture for both clubs, who compete in different divisions of Germany’s lower-league football pyramid. Chemie Leipzig, the designated home side, last played a competitive match in September, falling 2-0 to BFC Dynamo in the Regionalliga Nordost.

SC Freital, from the Oberliga Nordost Süd, carries recent competitive form into the contest, albeit off a narrow 1-0 home loss to RSV Eintracht 1949 on Dec. 6. Prior to that, Freital had been on a strong run, winning five of its previous six league matches, including a 4-1 victory over Budissa Bautzen and a 1-0 win at VfL Halle.

Analytical models heavily favor the hosts. Interstat’s ELO rating system gives Chemie Leipzig an 84.60 percent probability of winning. The organization’s game simulator predicts a 1-0 victory for Chemie Leipzig.

The friendly offers Freital a chance to test itself against higher-level opposition before resuming its Oberliga promotion push. Freital’s next competitive match is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, at Auerbach.

For Chemie Leipzig, the game is an opportunity to regain match sharpness after a lengthy break. The club will look to build momentum ahead of its Regionalliga campaign restarting later in the winter.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. local time at the synthetic pitch facility in Teistungen.
