TEAM NEWS
WEHEN WIESBADEN
Wehen Wiesbaden somehow squandered a 3-0 first-half advantage at Bochum last Saturday to end in a draw, but they have at least registered their first points of the season.
Tobias Schwede went straight into the starting line-up against Bochum but fellow new player Torles Knoll was on the bench and prepared to remain there after Manuel Schaffler's guard.
There were no changes to the injury front for coach Rudiger Rehm with Marc Wachs, Patrick Schonfeld, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Jules Schwadorf and Phillip Tietz still absent.
Predicted lineup (4-2-3-1): Watkowiak; Kuhn, Mockenhaupt, Mrowca, Niemeyer; Chato, Lorch; Ajani, Dittgen, Schwede; Schaffler
Not available: Schonfeld (Injured), Schwadof (Injured), Wachs (Injured), Kyereh (Injured), Tietz (Injured)

JAHN REGENSBURG
Jahn Regensburg has suffered three successive league and cup defeats, with their most recent home defeat against Arminia Bielefeld last Saturday.
The Knipping team made a comeback from injury in Sunday's U21 match and could be included in the squad, while a number of other fringe players performed.
Mersad Selimbegovic's coach has a full squad to choose from so there can be a change here, with people like Oliver Hein and Jan-Marc Schneider in the fight for a recall.
Predicted lineup (4-4-2): Meyer; Hein, Nachreiner, Volkmer, Okoroji; Saller, Besuschkow, Geipl, Stolze; Wekesser, Gruttner

Wehen vs Jahn Regensburg Head to head (h2h)
Two of the last three clashes have seen Jahn Regensburg at the top.
Their last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw.
Regensburg has recorded twice in five previous meetings, while Wehen recorded only one.
Five of their last ten matches have seen both teams get their names on the score list.
Wehen Prediction vs Jahn Regensburg
The newly promoted side have struggled to compete with their team-mates so far, and their best result, is the draw they were held last week, which also against fellow low-ranking Bochum players.
On the other hand, the two defeats that Regensburg has acknowledged so far have come the side that currently are in the top ten. It also needs to be said that Regensburg has detained Wehen for two of their last four visits to this place and has even walked away with the right to boast in one of them.
The hosts certainly have many reasons to replace him, and despite having an advantage at home on Saturday, Wehen is still underdog to take three points in this one.
Three of their last four meetings here have seen the two teams find the back of the net. Considering that the hosts did slot three of their last matches themselves too, there is certainly reason to believe that there will be a goal at each end before the match is over.
