Relegation-threatened SpVgg Greuther Fürth will take on Bayer Leverkusen at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer.
After a goalless draw against Hoffenheim over the weekend at the PreZero Arena, the Cloverleaves must win all their remaining matches to remain in the Bundesliga. - A feat considered impossible given that they have not won in their last five BL games, LDDLD. In addition, Furth have gone scoreless in each of the last four Bundesliga games and remain at the very bottom, in 18th place, having picked up 17 points from 3W, 8D, and 19. With eleven points shy of safety, and with 12 points left for grabs, a defeat here would see the club relegated to 2. Bundesliga. Furthermore, in order for Greuther Furth to claim the relegation-play-off spot, 16th-placed VfB Stuttgart [28 points] must lose all of their remaining games, which appears unlikely at best. Fürth has the second-worst attack in the Bundesliga, behind Arminia [23 goals], hitting the back of the net 24 times in 30 Bundesliga games, an average of 0.8 GPG. In addition, the Cloverleaves have conceded 72 goals and have a G.D. of -48. An average of 2.4 goals conceded per game. Stefan Leitl could once again line up the 3—4—2—1 with Leweling and Hrgota in attack. On availability, Bauer is suspended, while Kehr (knee) and Meyerhöfer (ankle) are both ruled out of this weekend's clash against the Company's Eleven.
TSG Hoffenheim 1899 vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth kicks off at 16:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 17, at the PreZero Arena.
The Cloverleaves are without a victory in five BL games, LLDDL, following the 2-0 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer. The defeat leaves Furth in 18th place on the Bundesliga table, having picked up 16 points from 3W, 7D, & 19L. Furthermore, Greuther Fürth are winless in seven Bundesliga games [3D, & 4L], longer than any other current Bundesliga team. In addition, the Cloverleaves have failed to hit the back of the net in three BL games as well, longer than any other current team in the competition. Furth have been poor at both ends of the pitch, recording 24 goals after 29 Bundesliga games, an average goal ratio of 0.83 GPG. The Kleeblätter have the worst defense in the league, shipping 72 goals [2.48 goals per match] so far this season, and are left with a goal difference of -48. Stefan Leitl could stick to the 3—4—2—1 seen last weekend against Gladbach, having Leweling in attack for Sunday’s game against Hoffenheim. Meanwhile, Dudziak (Achilles) remains in doubt for the weekend’s clash.
The Bundesliga fixture, SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. SC Freiburg, kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 19, at the Stadion am Laubenweg.
Recently promoted Greuther Fürth are looking to pick up the pieces from last weekend’s 6-1 thrashing at the hands of RB Leipzig. Fürth had established an early lead after Jamie Leweling (4') found the back of the net inside the first five minutes, but Andre Silva (17') soon found the leveler minutes later. It didn’t take long before the goals began pouring in. Emil Forsberg (32') gave the Red Bulls the lead, before Konrad Laimer (34'), Benjamin Henrichs (45'), and Mohamed Simakan (59') left the Cloverleaves with a four-goal deficit. Nine minutes after the hour mark, Christopher Nkunku (69') knocked in the final nail in the coffin for Fürth. Without a win in four games, Fürth are coming off back-to-back defeats: WLDLL, while sitting at the bottom of the table in 18th place with 14 points from 3W, 5D, & 18L. Stefan Leitl will like to avoid conceding once again on Saturday, having seen his side ship 70 goals [2.69 goals per match] in just 26 games. - A record high for the season, as Fürth continues to look unlikely to beat the drop. At this stage of the competition in the Bundesliga, only six teams, which were all relegated, had similar numbers. The Kleeblätter could line up once again in the familiar 4—4—2 against Freiburg, having Leweling and Hrgota in attack.
The Bundesliga clash, SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. RB Leipzig kicks off at 19:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 13, at the Stadion am Laubenweg.
Greuther Fürth were left without a win in three games (LWLDL) following last weekend's 2-1 defeat to VfL Bochum on home soil. The Cloverleaves remain rooted to the bottom of the table in 18th place, having picked up 14 points from 3W, 5D, and 17L. Fürth are nine points short of safety, but an unlikely win here would put the club on the right path to recovery as they hope to beat the drop. However, with their obvious lack of quality to keep playing top-flight level football at the end of the season, Fürth appears to be heading in only one direction. Unable to create much in the final third, the club has a goal ratio of 0.92 GPG this season, having scored 23 goals in 25 Bundesliga games. The club has shipped a massive haul of 64 goals [2.56 goals conceded per game] and are left with a goal difference of -41. They are, however, unbeaten at home since their first-ever Bundesliga home win on MD15 [3W, 3D, & 0L]. The Cloverleaves are looking to keep the record in place at the end of the weekend after this game against the Red Bulls. A 4—4—2 formation with Leweling and Hrgota in attack is expected from Stefan Leitl for this Sunday's clash.
Following a draw against the Red Bulls in the star-studded arena of champions, the Reds are back on German soil against the Cloverleaves in what appears to be another episode of David versus Goliath. The Bundesliga fixture, FC Bayern Munich vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth, kicks off at 15:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, February 20, at the Allianz Arena.
Despite the 2-1 win over Hertha BSC last weekend, Greuther Fürth remains at the bottom of the table with 13 points from 3W, 4D, & 15L. Having returned to winning ways, DDWLW, Furth are looking to draw inspiration from Bochum in a quest to cause an upset at the weekend. Greuther Fürth gave a good account of themselves with a spirited performance in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. However, the last time Bayern Munich lost two consecutive games against a newly-promoted side in the Bundesliga was in 1997 under former boss Giovanni Trapattoni. Stefan Leitl could line up the 4—4—2 formation, with Leweling and Hrgota in attack for this weekend’s game against the Reds. A severe plague of knee injuries will leave Funk, Jung, and Kehr out of this fixture.
The Bundesliga fixture, VfL Wolfsburg vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth, kicks off at 17:30 (GMT+1) on Sunday, February 6, at the Volkswagen Arena.
Sitting at the bottom of the table, Greuther Fürth picked up a 2-1 win over FSV Mainz at the Stadion am Laubenweg on Bundesliga Matchday 20. The newly-promoted side has only 10 points from 2W, 4D, & 14L, and are hoping to see a turn-around in fortunes after several spirited attempts over the first half of the season. The victory over the 05ers was their first in the last five Bundesliga games, LDDDW, and Stefan Leitl would like to see the Cloverleaves pick up back-to-back victories at the weekend. A 4—3—1—2 formation appears to be on the horizon, with Jamie Leweling and Branimir Hrgota in attack. On availability, a plague of knee injuries will keep the likes of Marius Funk, Kehr, and Ngankam out of the weekend’s clash.
The Bundesliga fixture, Borussia Dortmund vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth, kicks off at 20:30 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, December 15, at Signal Iduna Park.
After twelve consecutive defeats, spirited underdogs Greuther Fürth bagged their first win of the season in the 1-0 victory over Union Berlin at the weekend. Havard Nielsen (55') scored the only goal of the game at the Sportpark Ronhof, to see the Cloverleaves secure all three points. Greuther Fürth remains in 18th place on the Bundesliga table, having picked up only 4 points from 1W, 1D, and 13L. The club has a form that reads: LLLLW ahead of this fixture against Die Borussen. A goal ratio of 0.87 goals scored per game remains a paltry figure when compared to Dortmund’s numbers. Fürth has hit the back of the net only 13 times this season after 15 Bundesliga appearances. Kleeblätter has the worst numbers in the first third with 46 goals conceded (an average of 3.07 goals per match), which leaves the club with a G.D. of -33. Stefan Leitl could select the 4—3—3 formation, leaving the Nigerian, Dickson Abiama at the focal point of the attacking trio.

Greuther Fürth failed to pick up a point despite a three-goal haul in the nine-goal fest that ended, 6-3, in defeat to Hoffenheim at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer. Fürth remains at the bottom of the table with only a point and without a victory this season. They also remain the only side without a win in the Bundesliga with 0W, 1D, & 12L, and share the unimpressive numerical milestone with the Premier League side, Newcastle United, and the LaLiga side, Levante, in the Big-Five European leagues. With five consecutive defeats, LLLLL, Stefan Leitl remains desperately in search of a win. However, the 44-year-old may have to look elsewhere, as a win over Leverkusen, who have an average of 2.15 goals per game, is stacked against the odds in comparison with a paltry 0.85 g.p.g of his own. Leitl and the Cloverleaves could appear with the 4—3—3 formation, leaving the Nigerian, Dickson Abiama, at the center of the attacking trio against Bayer Leverkusen.
The Bundesliga fixture, S.C. Freiburg vs. SpVgg Greuther Fürth, kicks off alongside other high-profile fixtures at 14:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, October 30, at the Europa-Park Stadion.

In addition, the Cloverleaves have conceded 24 goals so far (an average of 2.67 goals-per-match), over the length of the current season, and have a goal difference of -18. Stefan Leitl continues to hang on by a single thread, knowing a defeat to Freiburg over the weekend could be one loss too many. Leitl’s probable 4—2—3—1 formation could see Cedric Itten in attack once again following the unavailability of several key players.
