The neighbors are worlds apart in terms of sport.

The hosts FC Moosinning 2 and SV Wörth will open the eighth match day of the district league this Thursday evening at 7 p.m.

- Both parties had agreed on this date before the season even started, "because it was known early on that some of us would not be there this weekend," explains Moosinning's player coach Benedikt Thumbs.

By the way, Wörth's player-coach Peter Bongers is particularly happy about his playing co-Manuel Gröber: "I played with him for four seasons in Eitting."

The two places are around ten kilometers apart – a tiny thing on the map.

It's different in the table, where the teams are almost worlds apart.

The yellow-blacks have 18 points on their account as a promoted team.

In front of them in first place is the top favorite TSV Eching thanks to the better goal difference.

"Of course we want to expand our impeccable home record with three wins and 11:3 goals in this derby," Thumbs doesn't talk around for long.

Personally, he can draw on the full.

What you really can't say about the guests, with two points last.

The first four games didn't look so bad, two draws on foreign courts and two unnecessary 2:3 home defeats.

Then Corona and bad luck with injuries hit the SVW.

In Eching you couldn't compete at all, and against Walpertskirchen an emergency eleven was lost at 0:5.

"It's looking a bit better, because Lukas Maier, Paul Notka and David Maier are coming back," says Sport Director Heinrich Hundsnurscher, a little relieved - "and I'm still hoping for Peter Bongers".

He had planned to start training on Tuesday, "then he'll see if it works".

Tip: 3:2 for the FCM
