Wehen’s home advantage should see them through
Recent form and standings
SV Wehen Wiesbaden enter this match after four straight losses and without a win in five in the 3.Liga, but they are still sitting 9th on 48 points from 33 matches, one point ahead of 11th-placed SV Waldhof 07 Mannheim. Waldhof are in decent form but have been in and out of their stride all season, with one win, two draws and two defeats from their last five matches.
Favourites and tactics
Despite their poor recent form, Wehen come into this game as the clear favourites and will feel confident of taking all three points in this match-up. Daniel Scherning’s side are a simple and straightforward side to analyse, as he has focused on compact defending and fast breaks since taking charge in November 2025.
Waldhof Mannheim are a little more nuanced, with Luc Holtz bringing a more structured, patient approach to the club since his appointment in August 2025. Waldhof like to keep the ball and build up from the back, and will look to press in numbers when they don’t have it, with Holtz’s side able to change shapes in the final third depending on the situations of the match.
An exciting game with a close scoreline
The meeting of Holtz’s possession-based system and Scherning’s counter-attacking blueprint should lead to a good game, and both teams are strong enough in the attacking third to cause the other problems.
- However, SV Wehen Wiesbaden have the home advantage, a very good home record and a better set-piece strategy than their visitors, and I think they can use this to edge out a win in an exciting match.
- I’m going for a home win in the 2.07, Over 2.5 Goals at 1.59 and Both Teams to Score (Yes) at 1.5 markets as my main selections, as both sides are capable of scoring and conceding goals, and Waldhof are without a win in their last two away games.
