It is of a rather harmless nature, the Halle team, who play at high intensity, quickly get the ball out of the danger zone.

Waldhof becomes more dangerous for the first time! A counterattack runs through Sohm, who pushes the ball on to Winkler, who is running behind. At full speed he can finish in a good position, but decelerates too long half-left until the angle is too acute. From this position he shoots the struggling opponent, corner kick.

Kreuzer cannot continue in view of the complaints on his right knee, the assist provider to 1-0 has to be replaced early.

From a technical point of view, this is also very respectable from the East Germans. Gayret has his head up and puts it through the gap on the outside to Landgraf, but his cross is intercepted.

19:13
The Halle team are following on from the last few weeks and appearing self-confident, making a big leap to 13th place in the live table. Mannheim acts far too passively in the early minutes.

Kreuzer returns to the field after a brief injury break.

All good things come in threes: the conspicuous Deniz has already recorded three deals in a short time, the last of which ended up wriggling in the net.

Tooor for Hallescher FC, 0:1 by Tunay Deniz
The next standard situation and now it rings in the Waldhof box! Kreuzer brings the ball from the right sideline with a lot of spin into the center, where Mannheim lose sight of Deniz. The 29-year-old nods eight meters in front of the goal, quite free-standing, into the left corner and turns to celebrate the goal.

Ball at rest. Deniz tries it himself from about 30 meters on the left-hand side instead of bringing a free-kick cross into the centre. The shot flies well past the goal to the left.

On the other side, Martinovic is sent into the penalty area with a high pass, dribbles inwards and lets off a harmless shot from about twelve meters. HFC keeper Gebhardt dives and holds the ball quite loosely.

Here we go! Halle plays in red, Mannheim acts in blue and black jerseys. A first HFC free kick provided Tunay Deniz’s first header, which, however, had started offside.

game start
19:00
The game’s referee is Lars Erbst, who takes the teams to the Carl Benz Stadium when the weather is sunny.
18:58
Guest coach Sreto Ristić has no choice and has to replace three of his players: Tom Zimmerschied (suspended), Nico Hug and Aaron Herzog (injured). Sören Reddemann, Tunay Deniz and Sebastian Müller step in.
18:53
Despite the 2-1 defeat in Dresden, Waldhof coach Christian Neidhart hasn’t changed his team and is fielding the same eleven men.
18:48
Since Mannheim’s promotion to the third division in 2018/19, the balance has been balanced in a direct comparison: Waldhof won three games, as did HFC. A draw is recorded.
18:43
The SVW is optimistic that they can play in front of their home crowd again tonight. At the Carl Benz Stadium, SV Waldhof won 13 of 16 games and scored 40 out of a possible 48 points. Only the weak away record (table 17th in the away table, 14 points in 17 games) ensures that he is not placed in the top 3.
18:37
However, Dynamo has the difficult away game with those Freiburgers on Saturday. If the Saxons leave points there, one can still have some hopes in Mannheim. To do this, Waldhof must first fulfill its own obligations.
18:31
At the Waldhof, the situation is rather the opposite, as good promotion opportunities have been lost in recent weeks. On the 27th matchday, Mannheim was still in third place. A losing streak of three games and a total of only six points in the last six matchdays followed, and the competition didn’t want to be asked at this stage. The 2-1 defeat in the six-point game on the previous day was particularly bitter: fellow competitor Dresden drew five points away and is currently the fourth eligible for promotion (Freiburg II is not eligible for promotion as third).
18:22
Nobody would have thought it possible in February that the people of Saalestadt would have 35 points in their account five games to go and everything under their own control. But the change of coach paid off: under Streto Ristić they lost only two modest times in 12 games – with six draws and four wins. One of the two defeats comes from last weekend’s 1-0 loss to Osnabrück. Points should jump out again today in Mannheim – and thus a big leap towards staying up in the league.
18:10
The Halle team, who are in a relegation battle, are four points above the line and can put pressure on the competing teams at the beginning of the third division weekend. Oldenburg (17th) and Bayreuth (18th) want to reduce the distance to Halle; the better placed teams from Essen, Dortmund, Duisburg and Ingolstadt are within reach for the HFC. And the competition will take points from each other at the weekend: Bayreuth welcomes Duisburg, Essen plays in Oldenburg. A potentially decisive game day in the third division table basement!
18:00
Good evening and welcome to the third division evening on Friday! At the start of the day, SV Waldhof Mannheim welcomes Halleschen FC, who are threatened with relegation. The kick-off in Mannheim’s Carl Benz Stadium is at 7 p.m.
