Tough competition: Suhl is urgently looking for points against Hildburghausen!

Football fans in Hildburghausen can look forward to an exciting duel when FSV 06 Hildburghausen meets 1. Suhler SV 06 on Sunday, November 7th, 2025. This game will be a tough test for the guests from Suhl, as coach Sven Stößel emphasizes. His team is two games behind and six points behind leaders Meiningen. The pressure is now gnawing at seven games without a win, as Suhl has already been without a single point for five games.

Stößel has deeper roots in the region, as he comes from the Heldburger Unterland and has a past in the Heldburg, Westhausen and Milz clubs. “We urgently need points to stay in touch with the top places in the table,” he explains. The coach is more relaxed about the away game in Hildburghausen and describes it as a normal game, even if the narrow artificial turf pitch could give the Hildburghausen team an advantage. Stößel observed this in Hildburghausen's recent 2-1 win against Ohratal, where the pressure from the tight space was crucial.

Preparation and expectations

Both teams had to take an involuntary break last week because Hildburghausen was unable to play the game in Ifta and Suhl was unable to play the game against Erlau. However, Stößel is optimistic that this will not result in a loss of rhythm. “Hildburghausen also had to sit out recently, so we are at a similar level,” said the coach.

FSV 06 Hildburghausen, currently on the rise, will want to use the last chance to avoid being pushed away by their pursuers. The Hildburghausen team have developed a special technique for playing with pressure on their small pitch, and Stößel believes that his technically skilled team is well suited to the demands of the surface.

Championship circle

In a larger context, the Thuringia League table presents remarkable developments. In this league, ESV Lokomotive Meiningen has already secured the championship early with a brilliant 10-0 win against SV SCHOTT Jena. This is the fourth title in a row for Meiniger and their dominant performance in the current season could further increase the pressure on the other teams.

There are also interesting encounters in the state class. On the 11th matchday, the teams from season 1 will welcome, among others, the Eurotrink Kickers FCL Gera and SV Jena-Zwätzen. Congratulations and exciting encounters are guaranteed, not just in Hildburghausen.

The kick-off time for the game between Hildburghausen and Suhl is set at 2 p.m. This makes Sunday a real football day, which could bring some excitement and possibly the longed-for turnaround in the points situation for the supporters of both teams.
