TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II
- TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II sit 11th in 3.Liga 2025/2026 with 32 points after 23 games.
- Stefan Kleineheismann has done a fine job with TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II since his arrival at the helm in July 2025.
- Kleineheismann’s men like to play at a high tempo and vertically overload their opponents, but they’re also a team that likes to build from the back and are incredibly fearless in their defensive line, which can at times open them up to the counter attack.
- Deniz Zeitler has hit his stride recently and his three goals are three of Hoffenheim II’s seven in their previous five 3.Liga 2025/2026 games, but the top scorer for Hoffenheim II is Ayoube Amaimouni-Echghouyab with nine goals from just 18 3.Liga 2025/2026 appearances, so they have the clinical edge in the game that Verl lack.

- Strobl has overseen a steady improvement in SC Verl 1924 since his appointment in July 2025 and his tactical philosophy of a possession-based style of play with structure and fluidity has seen his team become an efficient outfit.
