FC Hansa Rostock are on a hot streak
FC Hansa Rostock, who sit 5th in 3.Liga 2025-2026 and are still chasing promotion, will be looking to extend their 2 match winning streak when they travel to 20th placed 1.FC Schweinfurt 05, on Saturday. Hansa boss Daniel Brinkmann has made the most of his side’s tactical versatility in recent weeks, using a variety of formations. Hansa Rostock’s high-tempo, proactive style of play has seen them press the ball from different lines and play with plenty of freedom, which has helped them dominate games and win the ball back quickly in transition.
Hansa have won 8, drawn 6 and lost just 2 of their 16 away league fixtures in 3.Liga 2025/2026. Hansa are in good form, recording 4 wins and 1 defeat from their last 5 outings. Hansa thumped Ulm 5-1 away from home and edged out SC Verl 2-1, in their previous two away fixtures.
1.FC Schweinfurt 05 boss Jermaine Jones has seen his side lose 3, draw 1 and win 1 of their last 5 outings in 3.Liga 2025-2026. Schweinfurt were soundly defeated 4-0 by Osnabrueck and 1-3 by RW Essen in their two most recent outings, before drawing 1-1 at Hoffenheim II. 1.FC Schweinfurt 05 have struggled to get consistent results at home in 3.Liga 2025/2026, winning 4 and losing 10 of their 16 home league games this season, conceding an average of 2.00 goals per game.
Hansa will be tough for hosts to handle
Tactical outlook
Hansa boss Brinkmann will be pleased with his side's recent results and will know that this fixture will be a real test of how deep their squad’s talent runs, given Schweinfurt’s pragmatic approach to the game. Hansa Rostock should have enough about them to dispatch the struggling hosts, 1.FC Schweinfurt 05, this Saturday. The visitors have far superior form and a better away record than their hosts, and should be enough for them to take the win.
Schweinfurt are a much more structure-first side, favouring direct play, set-pieces and a compact defensive block. Hansa are a free-flowing, high tempo side, who like to press the ball from the front. A matchup between the two should see some goals, though Schweinfurt may struggle to break down a Hansa side who are solid defensively away from home, conceding just 13 goals from 16 away fixtures.
