Waldhof Mannheim and Hallescher FC have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the 3. Liga.

Insights:
  • Waldhof Mannheim have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Hallescher FC have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Relegation threatens Mannheim who should definitely be looking for some points here. Hallescher is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
