FC Bayern Alzenau come into this one without a win in three league matches, and their last home outing ended in a goalless draw with TSG Balingen. Even so, their home record is respectable for a side near the bottom, with four wins, four draws and four defeats, which is one reason they have not been easy to shut out at this venue.
TSV Steinbach Haiger have been much more dangerous going forward on the road, scoring 27 and conceding 23 in 13 away league games. Their recent results have been mixed, with three defeats in their last five league matches before beating SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz 2-1 on 27 March, but that away scoring record points towards them carrying a stronger attacking edge than Alzenau.
The head-to-head also leans their way. TSV Steinbach Haiger have won five of the last seven meetings and have not lost any of them, while both teams have scored in five of the last six and the fixture has gone over 2.5 goals in five straight meetings. That combination fits a visiting side that usually finds a way to get on the front foot against Alzenau.
FC Bayern Alzenau’s recent 3-0 loss at Stuttgarter Kickers, following a 0-0 draw and a 2-0 defeat at Mainz 05 II, leaves them short of momentum. TSV Steinbach Haiger, by contrast, have just taken three points against Barockstadt and have already shown enough away threat this season to justify favouritism, even if their back line still leaves them open to concessions.
My prediction is Away Win at 11/10. TSV Steinbach Haiger have the better away record, with five wins on the road already, and they have taken five of the last seven head-to-head meetings without losing any. Alzenau have gone three league games without a win, while Steinbach’s away games regularly produce chances at both ends, so the visitors’ superior attacking output should tell.
