SC Verl (home)
- Verl come into this mid-week game coming off the back of two league results in which they picked up a decent 1-1 draw away to Sonnenhof Grossaspach and followed it up with a 2-1 home win over Wuerzburger Kickers.
- That run makes it 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5 games in all competitions, which is a decent return for a club that will need a couple of good runs of form to stay in the 3.Liga in 2026/2027.
- Orest Shala has had a solid start to his reign as boss of Verl after taking over on the 1st of July 2026 and the club have been able to maintain the possession-first style with loose rotations and vertical depth runs that made them such an exciting watch last term.
SSV Jahn Regensburg (away)
- With the pressure already on SSV Jahn Regensburg after 7 games of the 3.Liga season, they'll need to put in a strong performance in their next game against SC Verl 1924 on Wednesday.
- SSV Jahn Regensburg have been solid since Sascha Hildmann took charge of the club on the 31st of March 2026, but they are currently 18th in the 3.Liga table having collected just 5 points from 7 matches.
- Jahn's last two outings saw them draw 3-3 with VfB Stuttgart II away from home in the 3.Liga, before they were shocked 6-0 in a friendly at home by Austrian club, WSG Tirol.
- The Jahn's style is built on a physical, hard-working mentality, but it looks like Hildmann's men have been trying to do too much on the ball in their recent matches, which will only make them susceptible to losing the ball and conceding in transition, so this could be a nasty midfield battle.
Head-to-Head
Jahn have a good record in the head-to-head, with them winning the last 2 meetings and the last meeting away from home in the 3.Liga in 2025/2026 by a 2-1 scoreline.
Key Players
Tim Heike is SC Verl's main man up front with 4 goals in 7 3.Liga matches, and he has bagged 3 goals in their 5-game run , whilst Lucas Hermes has been Jahn's sharpest edge up front with 5 3.Liga goals in 7 games .

- An alternative view could be to take Over 2.5 goals at 1.35, which also suits both sides who play open, transition-heavy styles.
Prediction
However, we feel SC Verl are the better side in terms of quality and form at the moment, so we'll give them a slight edge in what should be a close game, but Jahn's head-to-head advantage keeps it close.
