Overview
- Eddersheim recovered from a 1–4 loss at VfR Mannheim by beating FK Pirmasens 4–1, a result that reopened a theoretical path to promotion.
- The three-team mini-tournament now produces several uncommon tiebreak outcomes because standard rules on goal difference, goals scored and away goals can yield different qualifiers.
- VfR Mannheim holds the clearest route to the Regionalliga place and would likely advance even after a narrow loss, making them the favorite going into the final match.
- The league has confirmed that one specific final scoreline would trigger a lottery to decide promotion, a scenario that would give Eddersheim roughly a one-in-three chance.
- The promoted club will be determined by the upcoming Pirmasens–Mannheim result, and the outcome could directly affect club finances, player recruitment and fan expectations for next season.
