Lindau/Granse secured a comfortable 3:0 victory over Tekkenburger Land in the 2. Bundesliga Nord on Saturday. The result keeps the hosts in sixth place while extending the visitors' winless run at home. By then, Lindau/Granse had already shown they could string results together after a mixed start to the campaign.
The hosts arrived with momentum from their 3:1 win over Bocholts just two weeks prior. They had also bounced back from a heavy defeat to Kiel with a clean sheet against Neustrelitz in March. To be fair, consistency has been their challenge — three wins from five games suggests they are finding their feet but have not yet settled into a rhythm.
Tekkenburger Land's situation is far less comfortable. Four defeats from five matches leaves them eleven points from safety and three points adrift of the bottom. They had managed only a single victory, a 3:0 win over Völkels Köln, and that result now looks like an outlier rather than a sign of improvement. They were reduced to watching their position slip further.
The gap between the sides on the table widened to five points. Lindau/Granse sit on eight points with two games in hand on several teams above them, while Tekkenburger Land are on three points and running out of games to salvage their season. The hosts fancy their chances of pushing into the upper half, but they know the work is not done.
What matters now is whether Lindau/Granse can carry this form forward. They have not won since their last defeat, and this result suggests the old head in the squad is settling them down. Tekkenburger Land, meanwhile, are running out of games to turn things around.
