Promotion fight in Havelse: Second leg against Lok Leipzig is imminent!
On June 1, 2025, the relegation games to the 3rd league will be the focus of interest, especially the second leg between TSV Havelse and 1. FC Lokomotive Leipzig. The outcome of the first leg, which took place at the Bruno Plache Stadium, left the tension for today's match at a high level. Both teams drew 1-1, with Marko Ilic scoring for Havelse in the 89th minute, while Lok Leipzig equalized just two minutes later. Coach Samir Ferchichi, who celebrated his 40th birthday that day, was positive about the result and his team's performance. Now the Wilhelm Langrehr Stadium in Havelse is the venue for the decisive duel, which kicks off at 1:30 p.m.
TSV Havelse has created a promising starting position with the draw in the first leg. In addition to expectations of their team, they also have to contend with other challenges. The stadium has a capacity of 3,500 spectators, however due to security concerns only 2,300 fans are allowed into the stadium for security reasons. The Hanover police are expecting around 5,000 trailers from Saxony today, despite only 600 registered locomotive trailers. There was already hostility in the first leg, as some of the away fans were considered right-wing and violent.
Safety precautions and fan relations
The feared security problems have alerted the responsible authorities. A high fan presence is expected, which poses challenges for the police officers. Coach Ferchichi understands the criticism of the relegation and agrees that champions should be promoted directly. Both teams have to give their best today, but only one of them can celebrate promotion to the third division.
The relegation to the third division is not only of great importance for the two clubs, but also for the fans, who expect a decisive, emotional game. Given the long journey of the Leipzig fan base and the debates surrounding the relegation mode, those responsible hope that the afternoon will be peaceful. The promotion games to the 3rd division are another part of the relegation system administered by the German Football League and they also attract media attention. Live broadcasts are planned on MagentaSport, which will exclusively show the match today.
In this exciting context, the game is highly analyzed and anticipation for a thrilling encounter grows. Who leaves the pitch as the winner in the end will be decided in the coming hours.
