Wiesbaden in the relegation battle: Can the SVWW score against Saarbrücken?

On Friday evening, April 10, 2025, the 33rd matchday in the 3rd division begins with an exciting duel between SV Wehen Wiesbaden (SVWW) and 1. FC Saarbrücken (FCS). Wiesbaden went into the game after a bitter 2: 4 against Bielefeld and only counts one point from the last three games. In the last nine encounters they only won two victories.

Currently Wiesbaden is in twelve place with 42 points. The distance to third place is 13 points, while the SVWW is five points ahead of the relegation zone. In this second half of the season, the team was only able to collect five points in six home games, and the last home win has already dated back against VfB Stuttgart II for over two months

shape and list of the teams

The expected list of Wiesbaden looks like this: Stritel in the goal, followed by Luckeneder, Mockenhaupt and Carstens in defense. The midfield forms Greilinger, Kiomourtzoglou, Fechner, Johansson and Wohlers. Agrafiotis and Kaya are expected on the offensive. The fact that the Wiesbadeners have to strengthen the defensive is also evident in the 56 goals they have received this season, whereby only four games ended at zero this year.

On the other side, Saarbrücken demonstrated an increasing form after they have won four points in the last two games. After a goalless draw against Osnabrück, a 2-0 victory against Aue followed. The FCS is now among the top four, with a small lead to fifth place. The expected list is characterized by Menzel in the goal and a defense against Wilhelm, Bichsel and Thoelke. The midfield is supported by Rizzuto, Sontheimer, Rabihic and Civeja, while Krüger and Brünker form the storm tips.

direct comparison and betting odds

The direct comparison speaks for Saarbrücken, which was able to win seven of the 21 duels in the 3rd division. In the past, however, the FCS only scored four out of 21 possible points in the Brita arena. Interestingly, the last two encounters between the two teams went 2-0 for Saarbrücken and 3: 1 for Saarbrücken. Current betting odds show for a victory Wiesbaden 3.25, a draw at 3.45 and for a victory of Saarbrücken 2.15.

The injury situation is tense for both teams. Wiesbaden has to do without Gözüsirin, Goppel and Jacobsen. Saarbrücken is struggling with injuries from Naïfi, Sardo, Neudecker, Becker and Vasiliadis, which reinforces the challenges on both sides.

In the end, the question remains whether Wiesbaden can break through his negative spiral and target the climb again. The next games for the SVWW are against SC Freiburg II and Waldhof Mannheim, while Saarbrücken will be challenged against Bayreuth on Wednesday and on Saturday. The upcoming games are crucial for both teams in their struggle for relegation or promotion.
