Hansa Rostock vs Hallescher Prediction & Betting tips
One week after the Bundesliga kick-off, the 3rd division is back. The 21st matchday on Friday evening opens with Hansa Rostock and Hallescher FC, two teams that are currently lagging behind the previous season’s performances.
If the cog finished sixth in the 2019 final table, the four-time GDR champion is currently only in eleventh place in the current table. Halle – just fourth in 2019, just barely missed the relegation – is only sixth, but could already take the relegation place with a draw in the Baltic Sea Stadium overnight.
Rostock is the favorite against Halle according to odds of the bookmaker. The Saxons won the first leg 1-0 at home, but Hansa has a very strong home record.
For example, the former Bundesliga club has already taken 17 points from the previous ten home games, which is enough for third place in the home table. There were only three defeats before their own fans, which plays a role in the forecast against Rostock against Halle.
However, the HFC away is not a blank slate. The Saxons won five of their nine away games, which makes it difficult to play a tip on the classic 3-way system at Rostock against Halle. Meanwhile, the bet “Both teams meet: Yes” should be somewhat more sustainable.
Rostock:
After two defeats in a row, FC Hansa Rostock said goodbye to the winter break with a 5-1 away win at Viktoria Köln. It was the cog’s highest win of the season as part of the 3rd league.
It was also a threesome at the perfect time. Instead of having to look further down – it was only five points ahead of a relegation zone before this victory – the Baltic Sea residents went into the winter break with just five points behind the relegation zone.
In fact, only the eleventh place in the table may be on book. A small winning streak should nevertheless quickly lead to the top third or probably even to the promotion zone. Provided that the team of Jens Härtel can now add more.
Fortunately, a lot has happened during the winter break. The Ostseestädter played a few test games, which gave some recently injured players valuable game practice. With Nikolas Nartey and Nik Omladic, only two players are still injured. Erik Engelhardt should also return shortly after training deficit.
Meanwhile, coach Jens Härtel even got two interesting additional options for the attack on the transfer market, which has so far been the problem area of the cog with only 27 goals this season – the fourth worst value of the entire 3rd division. With Nico Granatowski from VfL Osnabrück and Daniel Hanslik from Holstein Kiel, two interesting players with third division experience were loaned out until the end of the season.
So it is no wonder that at Rostock against Halle the odds swing in the direction of the four-time GDR champion, who after all has his strength in the home Baltic stadium. The third place in the home table of the 3rd league proves at least.
Now it is time to bring the same home strength back on the field against an away team, to retaliate for the 0-1 defeat from the first leg, and to return to the top half of the table with the second three in a row.
Hallescher :
The HFC has never been closer to returning to the 2nd Bundesliga, from which the Red and Whites had relegated in the 1991/92 season, as close as last summer. In the end, in the seventh year of third-division membership, only four points were missing to reach the relegation.
Quite a bitter affair, especially since chemistry brought 19 victories and thus won half of all league games. In addition, the Saxons with only 34 goals conceded the second best defense of the 3rd league.
Values to which Torsten Ziegner’s team has rarely been able to build on in the current season. There were one or two painful departures, but on the other hand, newcomers such as Terrence Boyd, who leads the club’s goalscorer list at the HFC with ten leagues, have already hit 100%.
Most recently, Hallescher FC ran out of steam, which is evidenced by the fact that only a measly point was taken from the last three league games before the winter break. The Saxons were thus passed through to a sixth place from an ascent.
That is exactly what should have been a motivating factor during the winter break. So everyone involved knows that this may not reflect the real level of performance of the club, which was considered by some experts to be one of the top favorites for promotion in the run-up to the season alongside the second division relegated teams.
A positive thing for coach Torsten Ziegner is the fact that only one player is injured with right-back Tobias Schilk, who has been injured on the hip, while the HFC has also readjusted the winter transfer market.
Anthony Syhre, who had been clubless for the last six months, came to the Saale free of charge, who has already made 103 appearances in the 3rd division in the dresses of Osnabrück and Würzburg. An experienced defensive midfielder, who should help to make the defensive kicker from Saxony-Anhalt the bulwark of the previous season.
Meanwhile, the fact that Rostock vs. Halle has a tip for a point win in the Baltic Sea Stadium is supported by the HFC’s strong away record. The Red-Whites won five of the nine games in the distance, who only conceded six goals in foreign places. Both are top marks across the league …
