Week 9 brings us a match on Sep 17th, where Waldhof Mannheim hosts Wehen Wiesbaden at Carl-benz-stadion in a meeting of these two 3. Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 13 degrees, a perfect day for football. 8th placed Waldhof Mannheim is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Ingolstadt. Tobias Bech Kristensen struck first for Ingolstadt in the 69th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Waldhof Mannheim was frustrated by Ingolstadt’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Ingolstadt ended the match with the shutout victory. Waldhof Mannheim is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 5th placed Wehen Wiesbaden, recorded a 3-1 win against Freiburg II.
