Match Preview
Bayern Hof will face Carl Zeiss Jena in a club friendly on Saturday, 12 July, at the Städtisches Stadion Grüne Au. The hosts have struggled recently, suffering five consecutive defeats, which raises questions about their current form and squad cohesion. In contrast, Jena arrives with a more positive outlook, having secured three wins in their last five matches, including a draw and a loss. This disparity in form could heavily influence the outcome of the match.
One notable angle to consider is the head-to-head record, where Hof has only managed one win against Jena in their last ten encounters. Additionally, the fact that only one of those matches saw over 2.5 goals suggests that Hof's defensive vulnerabilities could be exposed again. With Jena's attacking momentum, they may find it easier to exploit Hof's weaknesses, making them the likely favourites for this friendly clash. As both teams prepare for the upcoming season, this match could serve as a crucial test for Hof to regain some confidence against a more formidable opponent.
