- Head-to-head: Waldhof have won the last 2 meetings in the H2H record
- Form: TSV Havelse have failed to win their last 3 matches
- Away record: SV Waldhof 07 Mannheim have scored and conceded 3.00 goals per away match in 3. Liga 2026/2027
Contrast in styles will decide the match
Form and standings
TSV Havelse have picked up where they left off last season with 1 win and 4 losses in their last 5 games, including a 3-game losing streak. Their 2026/2027 3. Liga results include a 2-3 home defeat to VfB Stuttgart II and a 0-1 away loss to SC Rot-Weiss Essen, putting them 17th with 0 points from 2 games.
Samir Ferchichi's men will need to improve if they are to take something from this weekend's game against SV Waldhof 07 Mannheim, who come into this match on the back of a 2-1 victory over TSV Fortuna Dusseldorf and a 3-3 draw away at FC Hansa Rostock. Mannheim are 7th with 4 points from 2 matches and their form has been mixed but lively throughout their 2-1-2 run in the last 5.
Tactical matchup
The contrast in playing styles will be a fascinating clash on Sunday with Ferchichi's side built on fast, direct counter attacks and wing play, while Waldhof's compact central block and structured build-up will see the pace of play remain much slower.
This contrast will favour the visitors who are clearly the superior side, but Havelse can keep this match competitive with their directness and willingness to push forward at pace.
The stats suggest a close match
Although the match result odds are heavily weighted in favour of Waldhof Mannheim at 1.73, the stats are a little less clear with TSV Havelse at 3.9 and the draw at 4.33. Waldhof have a good recent record in this fixture, winning the last 2 and victory here would continue that streak.
However, TSV have not yet won a home match in the 3. Liga 2026/2027 (W0 D1 L1) and have conceded 3 goals at home. Mannheims away stats in the 3. Liga 2026/2027 are 3.00 goals scored and 3.00 goals conceded per game, so the odds and stats align for an open game.
Jesse Edem Tugbenyo can make the difference
Key players
- Havelse's Jesse Edem Tugbenyo has scored 1 goal in 2 games for his side in the 3. Liga 2026/2027 and is their best player going into this game, but he is not as good as Waldhof's Julian Ulbricht who has 2 goals in 2 for his club.
- Nassim Boujellab has scored 2 in Havelse's last 5 and is worth a try in the anytime goalscorer betting.
- Kwasi Okyere Wriedt has 2 assists in his 2 appearances for Havelse in the 3. Liga 2026/2027 and his pace and ability makes Havelse's fast transition game very dangerous.
- Jid Okeke has 2 assists in his 2 games for Waldhof and can provide the service for Julian Ulbricht to strike again on Sunday.
