Hochstadt Alligators — Peiting: 2:4, Oberliga Süd

Pauing claimed a 4:2 victory over Hochstadt Alligators in the Oberliga South on 4 October 2026. The away side took all three points despite sitting seventh in the table, while the hosts remain thirteenth after five games. Both clubs have yet to accumulate any points, suggesting the season is still finding its shape.

Pauing's performance offered a clean contrast to their recent results. They had followed a 5:1 win over Passau with a heavy 2:8 defeat to Kaufbeuren, and showed more composure this time. Hochstadt, meanwhile, were coming off a 1:5 loss to Heilbronner Falken and a 0:1 defeat to Füssen, and things came to a head against a side that found a way through.

Our prediction of a home win at 53% confidence did not materialise. The game did not unfold as expected, and Pauing's structure on the road proved decisive. By then, the visitors had already established enough control to see out the result.

The result shifts the standings slightly, though both teams remain without points. Pauing move into seventh with three wins and two losses, while Hochstadt stay at the bottom with one win and four defeats. The gap between them is measured in results, not points.

What stands out is the pattern of recent form. Pauing's victories over Passau and Stuttgart show they can compete, while their heavy defeats to Kaufbeuren and Deggendorf reveal vulnerability. Hochstadt's 7:4 win against Lindau was their only bright spot in a string of narrow losses.
