It's a first for me. I've never been to the Betze before, so I'm looking forward to the atmosphere in Kaiserslautern.
Opposition View:
Torsten Lieberknecht, head coach of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, at the press conference before the match. He said: „Of course, the game is special for me personally. But much more importantly, FCK is playing against Darmstadt 98. And that’s the task we’re focused on. We have to keep the faith and first play our own game against a difficult opponent. The last step is often the most difficult for all teams. We’ll then see how things are going at the other pitches and want to do our homework. If you look at the last few games, the mental pressure has been the same the whole time. The team has withstood this pressure well so far. Now we still have a chance and can only win. We’ll just keep trying to see what we can. And for that, we need a top performance on Sunday against Darmstadt.“
The Officials:
- Referee: Dr. Robin Braun
- Assistants: Sven Waschitzki-Günther and Asmir Osmanagic
- Fourth Official: Yannick Rupert
- VAR: Tobias Reichel and Oliver Lossius

Fabian Holland: Lilies era ends after the season
The end of an era. Fabian Holland's twelfth season in the Lilies' jersey will be his last with SV 98. The 35-year-old's contract, which expires at the end of the season, will not be renewed. The club informed Holland of this decision in a confidential meeting. Both club and player agree to focus entirely on achieving the best possible end to the season until the final match and that any plans for a farewell celebration will depend on how the rest of the season unfolds.
Fabian Holland: Lilien-Ära endet nach der Spielzeit
Das Ende einer Ära. Die zwölfte Saison im Trikot der Lilien wird die letzte Spielzeit von Fabian Holland in den Diensten des SV 98 bleiben. Der zum Saisonende auslaufende Vertrag des 35-Jährigen wird nicht noch einmal verlängert. Darüber informierte der Verein Holland in einem gemeinsamen, vertrauensvollen Gespräch. Klub und Spieler sind sich darüber einig, den Fokus bis zum letzten Spiel komplett auf einen bestmöglichen Saisonausklang zu legen und darüber, dass auch die Planungen etwaiger Abschiedsfeierlichkeiten abhängig vom weiteren Verlauf der Spielzeit sind.
A setback in stoppage time: U21 loses late

"A very bitter defeat after a really good performance," explained U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt to sv98.de.

Opposition Check: SpVgg Greuther Fürth
It was the sixth matchday of the 2017/18 season, a sunny Sunday in September, and the second division fixture between SpVgg Greuther Fürth and Fortuna Düsseldorf was on the schedule. With Florian Neuhaus, Friedhelm Funkel, and Serdar Dursun on or off the pitch, the duel ended 3-1 for Fürth – thanks in part to a brace from Dursun. At first glance, probably just a typical second division victory. But historically significant and unforgettable for everyone in Fürth.
