Havelse are the best bet to win
Tactics and approach
TSV Havelse are a low-block side, who try to stay compact and strike on the break, playing a pragmatic brand of soccer which puts the result first and is not afraid to take a risk in the second half if it helps the cause. With two wins from their last two home games, Samir Ferchichi’s men have shown they can be tough to beat in front of their own fans, and their home record is respectable for a team in 17th place in 3.Liga 2025/2026.
Home form and attackers
Havelse have won six and drawn four of their 18 home games in 3.Liga 2025/2026, and concede an average of 2.06 goals per game at home, having shipped 37 in 18 games this term. Lorenzo Paldino is Havelse’s top goal-scorer with five in 34 league games, but he is not the only player in the squad who can spot a chance on the counter.
Schweinfurt are a hard team to beat
Season and style
1.FC Schweinfurt 05 are having an even worse season than their hosts this term, sitting in 20th with just 21 points from 36 matches. Jermaine Jones took over in February 2026 and has tried to inject some urgency and physicality into his team’s style of play, although they are still a side who set up in a compact block and try to be physical in the duels.
Form and key players
Schweinfurt are unbeaten in their last two away games, although both were drawn, extending a run of four straight draws. Sebastian Mueller is Schweinfurt’s in-form man, scoring two goals in his last five appearances after a slow start to the season. Erik Shuranov is the club’s top scorer with four goals in 17 3.Liga appearances and provides a direct threat whenever he plays.
Head-to-head record and recent form suggest a home victory
Schweinfurt have won just once away from home in 18 attempts in 3.Liga 2025/2026, and although they have drawn four of their last five, they have struggled away from home.
Schweinfurt have conceded 47 goals in 18 away matches, an average of 2.61 per game, while Havelse have conceded 37 at home in 18, an average of 2.06.
- This game could be won by whichever team is more adept at transitioning from defence to attack and winning second balls, and both have vulnerable backlines.
- A win at home for TSV Havelse is the main selection for Sunday’s game, with the odds of 1.89 reflecting the likelihood of this outcome.
- The Over 2.5 goals bet at 1.37 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.38 are both a bit short, but this game is likely to be an open game with the two clubs relegated and looking to maintain local bragging rights for the rest of the campaign.
