MANNHEIM, Germany (Interstat) — Waldhof Mannheim hosts Jahn Regensburg on Saturday in a 3. Liga clash that carries contrasting momentum for the two sides.

The match, set for May 9, 2026, marks the second meeting of the season between the clubs. Regensburg dominated the first encounter Dec. 14, 2025, winning 3-0 at home. The result is part of a wider trend: Mannheim has lost four of its last five matches overall.

Jahn Regensburg enters the contest in resurgent form. It is on a two-match winning streak, having defeated Hoffenheim 2-1 on May 2 and hammered Hansa Rostock 5-2 on April 25. The club has been erratic this season, posting three wins, three draws and four losses in its last 10 outings. Its attack has been potent, scoring five goals in two of those victories.

Waldhof Mannheim comes off a 2-0 defeat at Saarbrucken on May 2. The result extended a stretch of inconsistency; Mannheim has managed just two wins in its last 10 matches. It played to draws in three of those contests and suffered five losses. The club has struggled defensively, conceding four goals in a 4-1 loss to MSV Duisburg on April 11 and allowing three goals in a 3-3 draw at Wehen Wiesbaden on April 19.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for the home side.

Following Saturday’s match, Jahn Regensburg returns home to face Energie Cottbus on May 16. Waldhof Mannheim travels to Ingolstadt II the same day.
