VfR Mannheim vs FC Holzhausen tips and predictions

FC Holzhausen to struggle

On 37 Oberliga Baden-Württemberg points, 12th placed VfR Mannheim host 16th placed FC Holzhausen. The visitors will be looking to close the gap. Will they be adding to their 31 points?

Both sides will be looking to break the deadlock when they start exchanging blows. The total goals expectation with the analysts is a higher number than usual so this could be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's anything exciting about the prices.

Tread carefully when assessing this one but VfR Mannheim could get a result against FC Holzhausen.

For VfR Mannheim to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have got 10 wins under their belt from their last 17 home games. At the other end of the spectrum, the travelling side has pulled up short at times. They've lost 11 of their recent 15 matches on the road.

This home team is in a bit of a run of form on their own soil. VfR Mannheim have scored at least once in 17 of their recent 18 home matches while their rearguard players have been backing up the frontline. They have only conceded an average of 0.8 goals across their last 4 games.

FC Holzhausen have not enjoyed some of their recent trips. They conceded three or more goals in 7 of their last 14 away matches. So this match will be a decent test of their bouncebackability.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the first out of the blocks. The sportsbooks have forecasted both sides to get in on the act as they could be well matched. It's all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that makes more sense this time around.
