Match report
Lemgo and Erlangen met in the Bundesliga on 20 September 2026, and the visitors carried the day with a 33-28 scoreline. The result broke Lemgo's unbeaten run across four opening fixtures and left the hosts still searching for a loss this season.
Erlangen came into the match with more to prove. One win, two draws and a defeat had put them thirteenth, four points behind safety, while the home side sat ninth on four points with nothing to show for their record yet. The visitors carved them open when it mattered, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches against Lemgo in recent form.
The table tells a simple story. Lemgo remain undefeated but have failed to build on their draws, while Erlangen moved clear of the drop zone with a result that could change the shape of the bottom half. By then the home crowd had seen enough to know this was not going their way.
We had backed the hosts at 56 per cent confidence, but the match went differently. Erlangen's away record and Lemgo's inability to close out tight games turned things around after the break, and the visitors took control when it counted.
The goal difference now sits at -5 for Erlangen and -4 for Lemgo, but the gap between them narrows. Both sides have played four games, and what matters is whether Erlangen can hold this momentum or if Lemgo will make life awkward in their next fixture.
