Hoffenheim II are still seeking a rhythm
Attack and key players
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II are yet to find a consistent rhythm in the 3.Liga 2026/2027, but they look like an exciting team this season with Jakov Dedic fizzing the play.
- The Bosnian forward has registered two goals in two 3.Liga 2026/2027 matches and Florian Micheler has fed him some great passes, providing two assists so far.
- They've won two and lost three of their last five, which isn't much of a return for the quality that Hoffe zwo are clearly a team of.
Coach and style
Stefan Kleineheismann has been the brains behind Hoffe zwo's play since 1st July 2025 and he continues to play an aggressive, high-pressing, front-foot brand of soccer.
In their last two games they've been both at their worst and at their best, losing 2-3 to FC Hansa Rostock at home before winning 0-2 at TSV Fortuna Dusseldorf in the 3.Liga 2026/2027.
The problem has been that Hoffe zwo have lacked the finishing touch up front at times.
Jahn are a well-balanced unit
Jahn Regensburg have been ruthless on the road in the 3.Liga 2026/2027, averaging 5.00 goals per away game after scoring five of their total goals in one game, their 5-2 win at Viktoria Koln 1904.
Adrian Fein is their finisher, having scored two of their five 3.Liga 2026/2027 goals so far, but they have plenty of pace and numbers going forward.
Sascha Hildmann's side have been solid since 31st March 2026 and he has added more control to their previously frantic style of play. Jahn have been a hard-running, pressing team that has always played high tempo soccer, but since Hildmann arrived, they have added a little more quality to their build-up play.
They have won two and lost three of their last five, but the away form looks a little better than the home results, which is why this fixture looks like an away game on paper.
Jahn beat SV Ried 4-2 away in a recent Friendly Club Match and then Viktoria Koln 1904 5-2 on the opening day before losing 0-1 at home to 1. FC Saarbrucken.
Punting notes
Jahn are 2.33 odds to win this one, but Hoffe zwo are close enough at 2.6 to keep this game live.
The press-vs-transition game will probably decide this match, but it is worth noting that neither side will have a problem when they win the ball high up and have players in front of them to transition with.
We're going to have a punt on this being a game where both teams score at 1.3 and over 2.5 at 1.36 as neither side will sit back and neither are blessed with a goalkeeper of the highest order.
Hoffe zwo have averaged 2.00 goals per home game in the 3.Liga 2026/2027 and Jahn have been so good away from home that we will take them to notch another couple here.
