RW Essen will be looking for an improved result here after the 3-0 3rd Liga defeat in their last game at the hands of Verl.
Berkan Taz (24', 35') and Timur Gayret (66') scored for Verl.
Fewer than three goals per game were scored during 5 of the past 6 meetings where RW Essen have been involved. Regarding the goal split during this period, opposition teams scored a total of 5 while RW Essen totted up 5. Still, time will tell whether that pattern will be maintained in this upcoming game or not.

Prediction
We’re of the opinion that Hansa Rostock and RW Essen could end up without much reward for their efforts here.
Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw with few scoring chances is looking likely to us. We’re therefore anticipating a close game with a 0-0 draw at the end of the 90.
