Hansa Rostock vs Mannheim Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

This game has huge implications at both ends of the table, with Hansa Rostock battling to stay up and Mannheim attempting to book a place in the playoffs. Although the two teams have very different ambitions, they each seem to love a draw, with the Hansa Rostock managing six in 12 fourth-tier home games and the Mannheim securing a good place in the 3. Liga.

This Hansa Rostock side is not exactly renowned for playing exciting football, with a staggering 14 of their previous 17 matches in the 3. Liga delivering no more than a couple of goals. High-flying Mannheim have followed a similar pattern in the top-flight recently, as nine of Hansa Rostock outfit’s last 12 games have also served up under 2.5 goals.

Witnessing goals at both ends has proven to be quite unusual in top-flight fixtures in which Hansa Rostock are the home team, with this being the case in just five of their previous 19 matches. What’s more, title-chasing Mannheim clearly know how to keep clean sheets, managing to do so in 11 of their most recent 17 games at the top table of the 3. Liga.
