Bath paint for Mettlach-Merzig: Relegation battle will be decided in Hasborn!
The situation for SG Mettlach-Merzig in the Saarland Football League is more critical than ever. After a clear 0-3 home defeat against FSV Jägersburg last Saturday, the team took last place in the table. This defeat further aggravated the club's already tense situation. Coach Patrick Heinz was dejected after the game and spoke of a poor starting position for the crucial final game of the season.
The important match against SV Hasborn is next Wednesday at 7 p.m. Mettlach-Merzig, currently in last place, has the opportunity to climb to 15th place with a win. This place is currently occupied by FC Rastpfuhl, who have three points more. For Mettlach-Merzig, promotion to 15th place could be crucial, as it remains unclear whether this place is enough to stay in the league. It is expected that four teams will be relegated from the Saarlandliga this season (places 15 to 18).
Game history and statistics
The decisive reason for the defeat against Jägersburg were two goals conceded from standard situations. Tim Schäfer scored in the 9th minute, followed by Daniel Dahl in the 39th minute. The game was sealed with a third goal from Jägersburg by Salif Cissé in added time in the 93rd minute. Mettlach-Merzig had a great chance through Lukas Schaller, but his shot hit the crossbar.
The situation for SV Hasborn, however, is more optimistic. Under coach Pascal Bach, who took over at the beginning of April, Hasborn has stabilized and is now in 14th place. After a convincing 4-2 win against Spvgg. Quierschied, they have scored points in their last five games, with two wins and three draws. A win against Mettlach-Merzig would ensure Hasborn stays in the league. In contrast, a draw could see them drop to 15th, while a loss could see SC Reisbach move level in the table.
Outlook for the final game of the season
With the upcoming game against Hasborn, not only survival in the league is at stake for Mettlach-Merzig, but also hopes of a positive end to the season. The last few weeks have been marked by intense battles on the pitch and the outcome of Wednesday's game will be of utmost importance for the club.
