Meppen vs Zwickau Prediction & Betting tips
The wait is finally over! Finally, the game starts in the first leagues this weekend again! With the Africa Cup, the Women’s World Cup, the Copa America, the Gold Cup and the U21 EM, the great tournaments of this summer are over and the league operation is resumed.
The first is the Swiss Super League and the 3rd league in Germany. In this analysis we shed light on the duel between SV Meppen and FSV Zwickau. The season goal of the guests, who after all could reach the seventh place in the table last year, was defined by chief coach Enochs with the relegation. That does not necessarily surprise, since nevertheless a larger conversion of the cadre took place.
The hosts will certainly continue to improve their good statistics against the opponent. So far, they have never lost to the Saxons. Will the Emsländer succeed in the third home game against FSV the third victory? The guests have yet to score in the Meppen Hänsch Arena. That should of course change this weekend. The referee will kick off on Saturday at 2 pm. Both teams are certainly not among the favorites for promotion to league 2. This is with Ingolstadt, Kaiserslautern and Braunschweig rather trust other teams.
Meppen:
The Emsländer came in the last season very difficult from the starting blocks. After nine games, the SVM had just six points in his account and was on the last place in the table. It should be a really difficult task for coach Christian Neidhart and his team. Unlike in other clubs, but kept in Meppen but the rest. In a situation where the head of the coach rolls at other clubs, those responsible continued to rely on the skills of Coach Neidhart. For the winter break, the blue-whites were ranked 18th and thus still on a relegation zone. In the second half of the season it was much better for the Emslanders and in the end it was even 13th to keep the league quite sovereign.
Also this season it will be the goal to make the league. The squad of Meppener is certainly not strong enough to play in the top third. With Nico Proschwitz they have lost their top scorer to the league rivals from Braunschweig and regular Nico Granatowski moves to the second league promoted VfL Osnabrück. The eleven departures are offset by six new signings.
With Willi Evseev a former youth player could be engaged, who already gained third league experience in Rostock. From the Greek first league comes the Lebanese Hilal El-Helwe, who should close the gap left by Nico Proschwitz.
Whether the Thilo Leugers suffering from a crack on the heel can lead his eleven as captain into the new season, is rather questionable. The injury will probably make a bet in the first game against Zwickau not possible. For sure, head coach Neidhart has to do without David Vrzogic, who suffered a torn hamstring in the thigh in the match against Borussia Dortmund II.
In the preparation was not all gold, which shone with the Meppenern. The only victory came with 9: 1 at unterklassigen SV Wietmarschen. Against FC Antwerp, the Blue-Whites won a 2-2 draw. They lost against the Dutch first division Heerenveen (4: 5) and Borussia Dortmund II (1: 3). At the end of the preparation, the SVM scored twice in a 0-0 win against Utrecht and Ipswich Town in its own blitz tournament (45 minutes playing time). Also in the game Meppen vs Zwickau we make the prognosis that rather with few goals is to be expected.
Zwickau:
The FSV showed a very stable performance last season and could always position itself in the secured midfield. Both in the first round table and in the second half of the table, the Saxons finished in ninth place and with 52 points in the final statement this was enough for seventh place in the final table. The red-whites have benefited from their home strength. Only the newcomer from Osnabrück was able to collect more points in the home stadium than the Zwickauer. The fact that it was not enough for a top position, was therefore due to the weaker performances in the foreign. Only 17 points could be brought here and only relegated eels was less successful.
A first indication of whether this season in foreign climes more successful points can be, is perhaps already the duel on the first matchday. With the SV Meppen travel the Zwickauer to an opponent, which also announces no higher claims in this season. Both teams have the primary goal to keep the class.
After a superb seventh place last year, head coach Joe Enochs has to make a major squad rebuilding in his second year with the Red and Whites. Twelve disposals are opposed by a total of eleven new entrants. Since it will certainly need one or the other match day to act as a well-rehearsed team. On the defensive, the newcomer from Magdeburg, Christopher Handke, should be the boss.
After his hamstring in the calf, he returns punctually to the season start again fit. In the offensive her best scorer from last season, Ronny König, was held. He scored eleven goals and the FSV will be reliant on his goals again this season.
The preparatory games have won the red-whites all, with no really demanding opponent on the program. With Lok Leipzig (2: 0), RW Erfurt (3: 1), Bayern Hof (4: 0), Rodewisch (13: 0) and Weida (7: 2) were defeated only unterklassige teams. There was also a 6-0 win over Czech second division side Viktoria Zizkov. A real endurance test is missing in the list, so that the real performance is currently difficult to assess. However, we see the team of Joe Enochs on a good path and the goal of relegation should be definitely achievable.
