Key Players
- Elias Loeder has been a standout performer in a poor team with four league goals this season, but his goals are not enough to make up for Ulm’s deficiencies and Dotchev needs to get his team to perform as a unit.
- Sigurd Haugen leads the attack with five league goals from 15 matches and looks the most likely man to score in this matchup, but the visitors will need to outscore their hosts to earn the three points, so it’s a big ask.

Betting Insights
- SSV Ulm are 2.85 for this matchup, but I think there are more positive things in the air for 1860 at 2.18, with the draw priced at 3.44 in this fixture.
- However, the Over 2.5 goals option is very popular and it’s difficult to see why it is so short here, so I’m going to go for the Over 2.5 as my main selection in this clash. The SSV Ulm vs TSV 1860 Munchen betting tips align with this pick, expecting plenty of action at both ends.
- Ulm will look to win the physical battle with their big and strong back three or 3-4-3, which is built around compacting the defense and set pieces, as well as their ability to transition quickly from turnovers to attack.
- 1860 will play a more typical 4-2-3-1, which focuses on building attacks through the midfield in vertical passes and their high-tempo, pro-active style.
Prediction
- That makes this a fascinating tactical battle that I’m not confident enough to pick a winner, but with both in woeful away and home form respectively I’m expecting a tough game that should produce a few goals.
- Main selection: Over 2.5 goals.
