Bregenzwald ran riot against Passau on Saturday evening, scoring eight goals to three in the Oberliga South. The away side made no mistake against a home outfit that had shown vulnerability in recent outings. By then, the result felt inevitable given the form both teams had displayed.
We had called for the visitors to win, placing 66 per cent confidence in a Bregenzwald victory. And here's the thing — the prediction held up, though not for want of competition from Passau. The hosts had scored eight against Hochstadt just days before, so this was never going to be a quiet afternoon.
To be fair, Passau started with intent, but the away side's efficiency proved too much. Eight goals for Bregenzwald is not something you see every week, and the home defence simply could not contain the movement. One mistake ends it in these games, and Passau made enough of them.
The visitors arrive here fifth in the table with two wins from three, while Passau sit ninth with one victory. Recent results tell a story — Bregenzwald lost 2:6 to Lindau but responded with back-to-back wins against Stuttgart and Säuber. Passau, meanwhile, have won one and lost two in the same period.
The gap between the sides remains clear on the table, though both teams carry zero points after three matches. That is how the Oberliga South works, and the standings will shift as the season gathers momentum. Bregenzwald felt the momentum today, and Passau will need to regroup quickly.
