Waldhof Mannheim once again missed the chance to jump into the promotion zone in the 3rd division. The ex-Bundesliga team suffered their third home defeat at the start of the 23rd match day against relegation candidate Viktoria Köln with 0: 1 (0: 0) and could fall further behind the top group.
For the time being, VfL Osnabrück was within striking distance of the promotion ranks. The Lower Saxony won the duel of the second division relegated with the Würzburger Kickers safely 2-0 (1-0) and moved behind Mannheim to within three points of fellow relegated Eintracht Braunschweig on the relegation rank.
Würzburg, on the other hand, missed the connection to the saving bank in the table basement. Türkgücü Munich is also further in the relegation zone due to the 2:4 (0:1) defeat at newly promoted SC Freiburg II after a 2:1 lead in the meantime.
Because of Corona, Hallesches FC’s encounter with newcomer Viktoria Berlin was canceled on Tuesday afternoon a few hours before the planned kick-off. After a corona outbreak, the Berliners only had fewer than the 16 players they needed. The game between 1860 Munich and promotion candidate 1. FC Kaiserslautern, which was also scheduled for Tuesday, had already been canceled last weekend due to a corona quarantine at the “Lions”.
The duel planned for Wednesday between tail light TSV Havelse and SV Wehen Wiesbaden, on the other hand, should take place despite four corona cases among the hosts. In the other matches, the sovereign leader 1. FC Magdeburg has to compete against relegation candidate MSV Duisburg in the race for promotion to the second division, while Braunschweig can already displace Kaiserslautern from second place with a draw at FSV Zwickau. 1. FC Saarbrücken also has the chance to get past the Palatinate team by beating promoted Borussia Dortmund II. SV Meppen would draw level with FCK with a win at SC Verl.
