This 3. Liga fixture is a game where Havelse need points to escape 20th place, while Saarbrücken need three points to stay in the promotion-chasing pack. Havelse's last match ended in a 1-1 draw, while Saarbrücken have just won 3-1, so the two sides come into this in clearly different moods. Havelse have not won in 5 straight matches, including a heavy 0-5 home defeat, and have conceded 23 goals in 10 games. Their defence is an obvious problem. Saarbrücken, meanwhile, have won 3 of their last 5 and scored 24 goals in 10 games. They are the more consistent chance-creators, though their defence is not especially solid when put under pressure. This game should be open from the start, because Havelse tend to score in the first half in every home game they play, and Saarbrücken concede a lot between the 16th and 30th minutes. The first half may be close, but in the second half the away side, with more quality in attack, should gradually take control and close the game out through the difference in finishing efficiency.
