Noettingen welcome TSV Essingen on Saturday, Apr 3 at 3:30 PM in a Oberliga – Baden-Wurttemberg fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Noettingen come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). TSV Essingen travel in mixed form (2W 1D 2L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
