Game overview and second leg preparations
The return of the two teams for the important second leg will take place in the home stadium of Havelse, where the team will compete in the Eilenriedstadion, as the Wilhelm Langrehr Stadium does not meet the DFB requirements. A possible return to the 3rd league would be a new opportunity for Havelse after the club was promoted to the third league via relegation in the 2021/2022 season, but had to be relegated again after one season. If promoted, the plan is to use the Eilenried Stadium with a capacity of 5,000 seats for most games.
Both teams are looking forward to the second leg, where the pressure is high. Leipzig will try to exploit the home advantage, while the Havelse players will do everything they can to turn the first leg draw into promotion. The relegation promises exciting football moments and the fans are looking forward to Sunday, June 1st, 2025 at 1:30 p.m.
