SC Rot-Weiss Essen
- SC Rot-Weiss Essen are unbeaten in their last 5 league games (Won 2, Drawn 3).
- In a season of transition, RWE have played with a more controlled style under Uwe Koschinat, who took charge in December 2024.
- The Essen coach has introduced a disciplined style to his side, who generally line up in a compact 4-2-3-1, with the ball and structured build-up play the priority in possession phases.
TSV Havelse
- TSV Havelse are struggling in 18th place with just 16 points from 20 games in 3.Liga 2025-2026.
- In contrast, Samir Ferchichi has fostered a much more dynamic and attack-minded ethos at Havelse since his appointment as manager in September 2022.
- The visitors are a high-tempo side with energy in abundance and like to get men forward in numbers and disrupt the rhythm of games with fast, direct moves.
Key Players
- Kaito Mizuta will be available to lead the line for Essen and, with 6 goals in 20 league games, he is the club’s most reliable finisher in 3.Liga.
- Lorenzo Paldino is Havelse’s top scorer from midfield with 3 goals in 19 appearances.
Betting Insights
- SC Rot-Weiss Essen are a short 1.4 with the bookies to win, but we feel there is value to be gained in the home win, especially considering the 6.5 odds for Havelse to win and 4.75 for a draw.
- The Over 2.5 goals market is priced up at a short 1.5, which we feel is a reflection of both teams’ current form, with the hosts averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.30 conceded per home game in 3.Liga.
- We believe that Havelse can score on Saturday as they have managed 13 goals in 9 away games this term (1.44 per game).
Prediction
However, their defensive fragility has cost them far too many points already and we predict they will fall short against the strong home side.
