VfR Warbeyen before the decisive duel against Turbine Potsdam!

In an exciting week for women's football, VfR Warbeyen has crucial games ahead of them. The club will play next weekend against 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam, a traditional club that has won numerous titles in the past. But the current situation looks anything but rosy for the people of Potsdam.

As fupa.net reports, 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam won the German championship six times between 2004 and 2012 and won the UEFA Women's Champions League title in 2005 and 2010. The club, which was GDR champions six times before reunification, has to deal bitterly with the fact that it left the Bundesliga after just one point from 22 games. Things aren't going much better in the second division either; they're currently third from bottom after nine games with just eight points.

Hope for Warbeyen

VfR Warbeyen, who have been languishing in last place in the table since the fourth matchday and are still waiting for their first win of the season, have reason to hope. Coach Sandro Scuderi sees a great chance in the relegation battle in the upcoming home game against Potsdam. After a draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach (1:1), the players recently showed that they are capable of picking up points.

A possible home win would not only bring season points four, five and six, but could also bring the team a little closer to the safe shore. “We have indicated in the last few games that we are on the right track,” said Scuderi. “If we take advantage of this opportunity, it can give us a lot of confidence.”

The pressure on Potsdam

While Warbeyen is fighting to avoid relegation, 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam is also under pressure. Coach Anja Mittag's players, who are among the club's well-known faces, have to prove themselves in order to end the negative series. The first games of the season were promising with wins against FC Ingolstadt and SG Andernach, but since then things have gone downhill for the Potsdam team.

Looking back at the past 2024/25 UEFA Women's Champions League season, which ended on May 24, 2025 at the Estádio José Alvalade in Lisbon - Arsenal beat Barcelona 1-0 - the pressure becomes even clearer. Teams like Arsenal and Barcelona impressively show where top teams can go. Failure in the league could mean that Potsdam won't even qualify for the next Champions League season.

As uefa.com further informs, other teams such as Chelsea and Lyon have also shown their strengths in the current season, which further intensifies the competition for the highest places. For VfR Warbeyen, the game against Turbine Potsdam is not just another step in the league, but a real show of strength.

With a win, the table could change significantly for both teams and the pressure could increase accordingly. It remains to be seen whether VfR Warbeyen can use the momentum and give the historic Turbine Potsdam another setback in the fight to stay in the league.
