SC Verl 1924 vs TSV 1860 Munchen Best odds and tips

SC Verl 1924 will face a tough test of their home form against a TSV 1860 München side who have won three and lost two of their last five 3.Liga matches when the two clubs meet on Saturday. The Lions enter this game off the back of two consecutive defeats, after they beat Alemannia Aachen 2-1 at home before losing away to Hansa Rostock 1-0 and at home to RW Essen 1-3. Verl have been inconsistent in their last five 3.Liga outings, taking one win, one draw and three defeats from their last five games. The hosts drew 1-1 at VfB Stuttgart II before routing Erzgebirge Aue 5-1 at home and then losing 4-3 away to Saarbruecken. The Lions will look to the energy and pressing of Patrick Gloeckner’s players to disrupt the home side and get in behind the SC Verl defence with direct, high-tempo play. Gloeckner took over the reigns in January 2025 and has instilled a high-energy pressing game in his players, although it is yet to fully come together.

Alexander Ende took over at SC Verl 1924 in July 2023 and has been playing his best attacking football in the most important games. The hosts will look to get in behind the Lions with their own brand of direct football and will look to the clinical finishing of Taz to score goals. Berkan Taz has 11 goals in 35 3.Liga appearances for SC Verl 1924 and has scored three of their last eight. He is a hot hand up front and the hosts will look to him to score goals in this clash. Patrick Hobsch has 11 goals in 34 3.Liga appearances for the Lions and is always a threat in the box. Marlon Frey will look to control the tempo for the Lions when they are on song, while Maximilian Wolfram provides the energy and creativity in midfield that SC Verl 1924 need to keep the ball in the final third. This clash of two attacking sides could lead to an open, end-to-end affair with plenty of goalmouth action at both ends.

This is a tough one to call and the bookies are right to make it a close match, with SC Verl 1924 2.60, TSV 1860 Munchen 2.50 and the draw 3.30. The Lions are ever-so-slightly favourites to win, but we will take the draw in the double chance market. SC Verl 1924 score an average of 1.44 goals per home match and concede an average of 1.28 goals per home match in 3.Liga 2024/2025, so they keep the games close at home. TSV 1860 Munchen score an average of 1.50 goals per away match and concede an average of 1.61 goals per away match in 3.Liga 2024/2025, so they are a little better than average away from home. The last three 3.Liga head-to-heads have seen TSV 1860 Munchen win twice and SC Verl 1924 win once, but the hosts will be confident of ending that run after they thumped the Lions 4-0 away four months ago. Both teams to score will be the main selection for this game as both teams have been conceding goals of late and like to play open, attacking football.
