TSV Havelse

vs

FC Erzgebirge Aue

Preview

TSV Havelse

• TSV Havelse are 19th in the 3.Liga 2025-2026 table with 16 points from 21 games.
• TSV Havelse have been inconsistent, with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5 matches, though they are unbeaten in their last 3 on home turf (W1, D2).

FC Erzgebirge Aue

• FC Erzgebirge Aue are only slightly better off, 17th on 22 points.
• Aue have struggled away from home this campaign, with 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses from 10 away games in 3.Liga 2025/2026, only scoring 8 times on the road.
• They have lost each of their last 2 matches, a 3-0 home defeat by SSV Ulm and a 2-1 away loss to Hansa Rostock in 3.Liga 2025/2026.

Key Players

• Samir Ferchichi’s men have been a highly physical, counter-attacking team since he took over in September 2022, which seems to suit Lorenzo Paldino as their most dangerous player, with 3 goals in 20 appearances this season.
• Jens Haertel took over in January 2025, and his pragmatic approach has been focused on stability, with a solid defensive structure and controlled build-up.

Betting Insights

• This should be a close and tense game, and the odds reflect Aue as narrow favourites, with 2.25 for the visitors, against 2.95 for Havelse and 3.55 for the tie.
• Both teams to score is very heavily favored at 1.5, which suggests there will be some defensive holes at both ends in an open game.

Prediction

• We think Aue should just have enough to edge this game out of Havelse, with their 2-1 win in this fixture in 3.Liga 2025/2026, and their recent streak of 3 defeats in a row.
• Havelse have been more consistent at home, and have already played a strong home performance, the 4-0 thrashing of Hoffenheim II, before being crushed 4-1 at RW Essen two days ago.
• The clash of Havelse’s high-octane, physical, transition game and Aue’s conservative, compact approach could be fascinating.
