After a losing effort in their last game against RW Essen in 3rd Liga competition, Mannheim and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
Torben Müsel (42') and Leonardo Vonić (90') scored for RW Essen.
The stats tell the story, and Mannheim have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals in total. Defensively, Mannheim just haven’t been too solid at all. Let’s see whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.

Owing to an otherwise full-strength squad, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Mannheim boss Marco Antwerpen to be concerned about. Jan-Christoph Bartels (unknown injury) won’t be in action. Lukas Klünter will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

Prediction
It’s looking like Mannheim and Verl should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
Let’s see what happens, but it could well be that we end up with scores level. We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even match with a score draw when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
