Sandhausen vs Rot-Weiss Essen: Betting Preview

The 3. Liga continues to deliver drama, and this weekend’s match between SV Sandhausen and Rot-Weiss Essen promises another chapter of excitement. Scheduled for April 19 at 13:00 UTC, this fixture has fans and punters alike buzzing with anticipation. With form, stats, and betting value all in focus, here’s everything you need to know before placing your bets.

Best Tip: X2 (Away Win or Draw) at 1.4

NerdyTips’ top betting recommendation for this match is X2, meaning Rot-Weiss Essen is predicted either to win or to walk away with a point. With a strong confidence level of 8.0/10 and odds sitting at 1.4, this tip offers both security and value.

Why does this make sense? Sandhausen is in a slump—no wins in their last 10 matches and conceding nearly two goals per game (1.9). Meanwhile, Rot-Weiss Essen is flying high with 7 wins in their last 10 and an average of 1.5 goals scored per match. Essen’s form, paired with Sandhausen’s decline, makes backing X2 a smart and safe move.

1X2 Prediction: Away Win (2) at 2.3

If you’re feeling a bit more daring, go with the full away win. NerdyTips gives this a trust level of 6.8/10. The odds? A tempting 2.3.

Rot-Weiss Essen has taken 40.3% of their last 119 matches, and their current form suggests they can edge past Sandhausen. While the hosts did win their last head-to-head 2:0, that was nearly a year ago—and a lot has changed since then. Sandhausen’s recent performances have dipped dramatically, making this a great opportunity to back the visitors for all three points.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals at 1.44

For bettors who prefer the goal markets, the under 3.5 goals prediction offers decent value at 1.44 with a moderate confidence level of 3.7/10. Historically, 69% of these two teams’ combined matches stay under this line. Sandhausen averages just 0.8 goals per game recently, and while Essen does better with 1.5, both teams tend to keep things relatively tight.

The expected final score? 1:2. That supports the under 3.5 bet while still backing the away win.

Form Guide and Key Stats

Let’s talk numbers. Over the past four years in the 3. Liga, home teams have won 42.0% of matches, while away teams have clinched 31.1%. Draws sit at 26.9%. This tells us that away wins aren’t uncommon—and with Essen’s current form, they’re more than capable of grabbing one here.

Sandhausen’s win rate over their last 120 matches is just 30.0%. Their recent form is even worse: 0 wins from 10, and only 3 shots on target per game. In contrast, Rot-Weiss Essen has won 40.3% of their last 119 games and are averaging 16 shots per match, with 4 on target.

Looking at both teams’ goal patterns:
– Over 1.5 goals: Sandhausen 78.3%, Essen 83.2%.
– Over 2.5 goals: Sandhausen 53.3%, Essen 56.3%.
– Over 3.5 goals: Sandhausen 30.8%, Essen 31.1%.

This supports the under 3.5 tip, with the majority of games falling just under this line.

What Happened Last Time?

In their previous head-to-head on May 4, 2024, Sandhausen shocked many by winning 2:0. But that was then. Essen has improved significantly since, going toe-to-toe with top teams and even drawing away at Dynamo Dresden in a thrilling 3:3 encounter.

Sandhausen, on the other hand, hasn’t been able to replicate that kind of performance. Their best recent result was a surprise 0:1 win away at Dresden back in January, but that form has all but vanished.

Match Dynamics and Tactical Edge

Expect Rot-Weiss Essen to control possession (projected 53%) and push the tempo. They’re forecasted to take more shots (16 vs 11), win more corners (8 vs 5), and apply more pressure in the final third. Sandhausen may try to sit back and counter, but their recent inability to convert chances and defend consistently makes that a risky strategy.

Final Verdict

This match is one where form, stats, and betting value align. Sandhausen are struggling, while Rot-Weiss Essen are surging. Add in the historical goal data and you’ve got a clear picture:

• Best Tip: X2 at 1.4 – Strongest confidence, safest play
• Value Tip: Away Win (2) at 2.3 – Higher risk, higher reward
• Goals Tip: Under 3.5 Goals at 1.44 – Based on recent scoring data

For fans of the 3. Liga and savvy bettors alike, this is a fixture to mark on the calendar. Whether you’re backing the safe route or going bold with the away win, the numbers are pointing in one direction: Rot-Weiss Essen.

Don’t miss the action—and may your bets land just right.
