Hoffenheim II are having a rough stretch, with three losses in their last five games. Verl aren't exactly flying either, but they've been harder to beat lately, grinding out a couple of draws. When these two met before, the games were full of goals - one finished 3-1 and the other 4-2 - so this one could be lively and open.

Overall, this looks like a close matchup. Verl seem the steadier side right now, while Hoffenheim II are struggling, so a draw or a narrow Verl win feels most likely.
