Leher played host to Gesteμnde in the Oberliga Bremen on Thursday evening, and the match ended in a 2:2 draw. The result keeps both sides in the middle of the table after seven rounds of play. Leher remain twelfth with four points, while Gesteμnde move up to tenth on eight points.
Leher had not looked comfortable in recent weeks. They lost 6:0 to Blumenthal just days before this fixture, and their only win this season came against Watan Sport. The visitors, meanwhile, had won four of their last five matches, including a 4:3 victory over Gron.
When we gave our preview, we backed the hosts to win with 42 per cent confidence. The match went another way entirely, and that is the thing about football — you can look at form and still be wrong. Gesteμnde took their chances when they came, and Leher could not close them out.
The table tells you where both sides stand now. Leher sit five points off safety with two games left, while Gesteμnde are four points clear of the drop zone. Neither side has anything to play for yet, but the gap between them is narrowing.
Leher will want to bounce back at home. They have one match remaining against a side that has shown they can score goals. Gesteμnde travel next and will look to build on their improvement. The season is only just beginning.
