"We've had some good experiences with this, because the teams that host us might come and watch some of our home games, throughout the season." Franziska Harsch is particularly happy about the fixture. "It's nice to compete in my hometown. I know a few of the other team's players, I actually used to play with some of them." Annika Eberhardt will not be available to play on Sunday due a foot injury. "Our objective is to create chances, to play clean passes and to score a couple of goals," said Ehrmann.
