SV Sandhausen

WLLLDL

SV Sandhausen will be hoping for a better result after the 3-2 3rd Liga defeat in their last game at the hands of Mannheim.

For SV Sandhausen, the scorers were Marco Schikora (43') and Taylan Duman (61'). Felix Lohkemper (14') and André Becker (32', 38') scored for Mannheim.

It’s not been often in recent games where SV Sandhausen have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that SV Sandhausen have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 games, giving up 9 goals along the way. Such a pattern might not be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Looking at the pre-match facts, SV Sandhausen:

• have not been beaten in the league by Energie Cottbus in their last 3 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league matches.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two, we feel that Energie Cottbus and SV Sandhausen should both be able to score more than once here although it’s hard to pick a clear winner.

It will be interesting to see how this one goes, with a good chance of a draw and also of goals in the match. That’s why we have predicted a very even match with a 2-2 score draw when the full-time whistle blows.
