There’s speed right away here. Rafael Brand sprints along the left lane and powerfully brings the ball inside. The ball is deflected. As a result, the ball lands at the near post directly with Morten Behrens, who grabs it safely.

It is the very first direct comparison in the 3rd division. Nevertheless, this duel also has a special story in store, because the coaches have a common past. Christian Neidhart coached Dario Fossi at SV Wilhelmshaven and the Italian was even the 54-year-old’s assistant coach for a while.

Before the last match of the year, Christian Neidhart sees no reason for major changes in Mannheim. The only change after the 2-1 win against Zwickau is Stefano Russo for Fridolin Wagner. Pascal Sohm, who recently brought victory to his team with a brace, is again chasing goals today.

Dario Fossi changes the VfB starting XI to three positions compared to the defeat against 1. FC Saarbrücken. Kamer Krasniqi, Rafael Brand and Ayodele Adetula start for Robert Ziętarski, Marten-Heiko Schmidt and Kebba Badjie.

Waldhof Mannheim is in seventh place with 25 points. With a three, they could not move further forward, but they could reduce the gap to the promotion relegation rank to three points. However, they would first have to overcome their fear of being away from home. The SVW is still without a win after seven games on a foreign pitch. Christian Neidhart’s squad was only able to bring home a measly point. That was already on the second match day in Verl 2:2. The Mannheimers want to finally end this negative run against the weak Oldenburg.

VfB Oldenburg had to cope with the sixth defeat in a row in the 3-1 defeat in Saarbrücken. During that period, they only once conceded fewer than three goals and only once managed to score more than one goal themselves. In the case of Lower Saxony, there are problems both on the defensive and on the offensive. Ironically, before the last encounter before the World Cup break, VfB slipped down to a relegation zone. Of course they don’t want to spend the winter there. That’s why countable should finally be retracted again today. They could pass FSV Zwickau again by winning a point.
12:00 p.m
