SV Meppen have had a mixed run lately, with some wins, some draws, and one loss, so they look reasonably steady without being on fire. Verl, on the other hand, have been struggling — they haven't won any of their recent games, drawing a few and losing a couple, which suggests they're going through a rough patch right now.

When these two teams have met in the past, the games have usually produced a fair number of goals, with several of those meetings ending with two or three goals on the board. That points to a fairly open contest rather than a tight, cautious one. Given Verl's poor run of form and Meppen's slightly better recent results at home, Meppen look the more likely side to come out on top here.
