SV Waldhof 07 Mannheim
Luc Holtz has got his Waldhof side to be a team who have possession of the ball and are patient in their build-up, using their wide areas to break teams down and being pragmatic in their substitutions to keep the game in check.
SSV Ulm
Pavel Dotchev has done something of the opposite with Ulm since taking over in November 2025, moving them to a more compact, less-risky approach and prioritizing getting results over any other aspect of the game.
Head-to-Head
- SV Waldhof 07 Mannheim are 9th in 3.Liga with 32 points from 22 games, while SSV Ulm are 18th with 22 points from 22.
- Mannheim won this 3.Liga head-to-head 2-1 away from home five months ago but SSV Ulm have won two of the last three encounters.
Key Players
- Felix Lohkemper leads the line for Waldhof with eight 3.Liga goals in 20 appearances (G/20) and has two in the last five.
- Elias Loeder has seven in 21 for Ulm (G/21) and scored three of SSV’s last nine.
- Leon Dajaku has been in fine form as the playmaker, providing four assists in the last five games.
- Mannheim have failed to win their last home game against Ulm and we feel there may be some home field jitters in this Baden-Württemberg derby.

Recent stats:
- Lohkemper: 8 goals in 20 (G/20), 2 in last 5.
- Loeder: 7 goals in 21 (G/21), 3 of SSV’s last 9.
- Dajaku: 4 assists in the last 5 games.
Betting Insights
- Dotchev’s side have found some form with a 3-0 away win over Erzgebirge Aue and a 1-0 home win over MSV Duisburg.
- They rebounded well after being beaten 0-4 by Hansa Rostock in their previous home fixture, although that result would have stung.
- We feel Waldhof will be the slight favourites with the bookmakers and rightfully so, but SSV Ulm have been playing better recently and at 3.9 on the moneyline are a strong option to get a result.
- Over 2.5 goals is favored at 1.67 and we’re confident this will be an exciting game with both teams getting on the scoreboard.
Prediction
Expect an open Baden-Württemberg derby with both teams to score and a lean towards over 2.5 goals .
