**Aachen rolls into this one riding decent form, but Trier's been an absolute machine in preseason** 🔥 This is the kind of friendly where momentum tilts the table — and the visitors have it in spades.

Aachen are solid enough (2W-1D-1L), but that loss to Bochum stings a bit. Trier, meanwhile, are **4-1 across their last five**, steamrolling lower-division opposition and looking razor-sharp going into the campaign. This is preseason, so coherence matters more than squad depth.

Key storylines:

- **Eintracht Trier's attacking form** has been relentless; they've put three or more goals past every lower-tier side they've faced
- **Alemannia Aachen's road record** shows wins and draws abroad, but Trier at home (or neutral ground) is a different beast
- Both sides are fine-tuning, but Trier's consistency through five games gives them the edge in sharpness

Expected lineups:

- **Alemannia Aachen**: expect a blend of first-teamers testing combinations
- **Eintracht Trier**: likely keeping the formula that's worked — attacking width and clinical finishing

Prediction:

**Trier 2–1 Aachen** — Trier's preseason run is too hot to ignore; Aachen will get a goal but won't quite have enough to nick it 📍
