Form and context

Jahn Regensburg sit at the bottom end of the table and need points badly in the relegation fight, with only ten points from their opening games. Hansa Rostock are ninth on 16 points and have now gone three league games without a win. Both sides are without a victory in their last three matches, so Saturday's meeting at the Jahnstadion Regensburg carries plenty of pressure.

What the numbers say

• Regensburg have won just two league games this season, with four draws, and sit on a direct relegation place.
• Rostock have four wins, four draws and three defeats, with a goal difference of -2.
• Regensburg are winless in three in all competitions, including a 1-0 loss at Rot-Weiss Essen and a 0-0 home draw with Wehen.
• Rostock have also gone three without a win, following 0-2 defeats to Meppen and Aachen with a 1-1 draw against Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Our view

Regensburg have the fifth-best attack in the 3. Liga according to the local press, but they keep giving away leads, and their home draw with Wiesbaden showed the finishing problems that are holding them back. Rostock have had a turbulent season and already changed coach, with Andre Breitenreiter taking over, but they have won only one of four games under him. The visitors look the stronger side on paper, though their recent run offers little comfort.

Most likely outcome: draw - two teams short of form and confidence, with little separating them.
