Both teams can look back on an interesting history. In an earlier meeting on May 5, 2019, Lunzenau won 4-2 against the second team of SV Lichtenberg.

But Falk Rosin and Franz Thomas Gebhart secured the lead for Lunzenau to 4: 2 before half -time, and there were no further goals in the second half. This result is an example of the grown rivalry between the two teams.
