On Sunday, the top game in Kreisliga A between Westfalia Dortmund and Sharri Dortmund is coming up. Forecasting spoke to Maurice Temme in advance.
On Sunday, October 24, the top game in the Dortmund Kreisliga A will take place: Westfalia Dortmund will host Sharri Dortmund at 3:15 p.m. (Forecasting will stream the game live).
Westfalia is in first place in the table with 25 points from ten games. The team, coached by founder Maurice Temme, was only founded in 2022. Since then, they have gone from strength to strength, remaining unbeaten in Kreisliga A. This season, they have already scored 62 goals.
But the winning streak has been broken: last weekend, they lost 1-3 to Dortsfelder SC, the first defeat in the club’s history.
Forecasting spoke to Temme in the run-up to the top game:
Maurice Temme, how was the mood after the defeat?
The mood was quite normal. We took a sober look at the whole thing, discussed the mistakes and then prepared ourselves directly for the next opponent.
What conclusions could be drawn from the defeat?
We couldn’t really get the ball into the goal in the game. Of course, the opponents were also very deep and compact at the back. In the end, three individual mistakes led to the goals we conceded. We also let ourselves be intimidated by the emotionality of the Dorstfeld team and no longer played as dominantly.
The top game is on Sunday: What do you expect the game to be like?
From what I’ve seen of Sharri, they also play very dominantly and like to be active. I’m curious to see how much respect they have for us and how they’ll react offensively or defensively. But they will definitely want to bring their offensive strengths into play.
I expect it to be very heated again. They will be fired up and give it their all. But overall, only hot games are coming in this attractive league.
Maurice Temme.
What kind of atmosphere do you expect against Sharri Dortmund?
I expect it to be very heated again. They will be hot too and throw everything at us. But overall, only hot games are coming in this attractive league. However, we also know that the season is still very long and therefore we are not going in there as if we were unbeatable.
What kind of atmosphere are you hoping for on Sunday?
We always have our 100 spectators. I think that the guests will bring some fans with them and that one or two football enthusiasts will also want to watch the whole thing. I expect 300 to 400 spectators and I’m really looking forward to this setting.
What about the personnel situation?
We still have three red cards from the last game. Of course, it’s extremely bitter that three players from the starting eleven will be missing. Otherwise, there are only minor absences to complain about. We are prepared for the game in the best possible way and the rest is up to the boys on Sunday.
