On Oct 1st, Osnabrück hosts Waldhof Mannheim in a meeting of these two mismatched 3. Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, Osnabrück recorded a 1-1 draw against Freiburg II. Vincent Vermeij struck first for Freiburg II in the 81st minute on a feed from Gutta, but Marc Heider got the equalizer for Osnabrück in the 82nd minute earning Osnabrück at least a draw. Osnabrück is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Waldhof Mannheim recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Wehen Wiesbaden. Dominik Kother struck first for Waldhof Mannheim in the 64th minute on a feed from Fridolin Wagner, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Wehen Wiesbaden was frustrated by Waldhof Mannheim’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Waldhof Mannheim ended the match with the shutout victory. With 17 points in their last 10 matches Waldhof Mannheim should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Waldhof Mannheim won the head to head battle with 1 win.
Bentley Baxter Bahn has been the most prolific scorer on Waldhof Mannheim in the last 5 matches with two goals. Osnabrück is glad to have Ba-Muaka Simakala in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals.
