SG Sonnenhof Großaspach - Rot-Weiss Essen ai prediction 01.11.2026 3. Liga

Preview for match SG Sonnenhof Großaspach vs Rot-Weiss Essen

SG Sonnenhof Großaspach welcome Rot-Weiss Essen to the WIRmachenDRUCK Arena on Sunday, 1 November 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 16:30. The match is part of the 3. Liga’s 12th round and brings together two teams currently separated by a substantial gap in the table. Großaspach sit 16th with 12 points, while Essen occupy third place on 21 points. Referee Luca Sambill will oversee the contest.

The standings reflect a contrast in results so far. Großaspach have recorded three wins, three draws and five defeats, scoring 13 goals and conceding 25. Their home results have been comparatively more encouraging: three victories, one draw and two losses. That record gives Pascal Reinhardt’s side reason to believe they can make the match competitive, particularly with home support behind them. However, their defensive numbers remain a concern, and they will need greater control of the spaces in front of goal against an opponent with a stronger overall record.

Uwe Koschinat’s Rot-Weiss Essen arrive with six wins, three draws and two defeats from 11 league matches. They have scored 19 goals and conceded 13, figures that point to a more balanced performance across the season. Essen’s away record is less convincing than their overall position might suggest, with one win, two draws and two defeats. That could offer Großaspach an opening, although Essen’s higher points total and more productive campaign make them the stronger side on paper.

There is no recorded previous meeting between these teams in the supplied head-to-head information, so neither side can draw on a recent direct result as a guide. Recent form is mixed for both clubs: Großaspach have one win, one draw and three defeats across their last five matches, while Essen have two wins, one draw and two defeats. The hosts need points to create distance from the lower end of the table; the visitors will be looking to maintain their position among the leading teams. These different objectives should make for a purposeful encounter, with Essen favoured by their season-long consistency but Großaspach’s home results deserving consideration.

Our betting tip for SG Sonnenhof Großaspach vs Rot-Weiss Essen

Our betting prediction is a Rot-Weiss Essen win, or Tip 2 in the 1X2 market. Essen have collected nine more points than Großaspach and have lost fewer matches, while their goal difference of +6 compares favourably with the hosts’ -12. Although the visitors’ away record is not dominant, their overall level of performance makes them the more reliable choice in this fixture.

The second selection is Both teams score: Yes. Großaspach have scored 13 goals in 11 league matches and have won three of their six home fixtures, suggesting they can pose a threat in familiar surroundings. Essen have conceded 13 times, and their away results indicate that they are not immune to pressure on the road. At the other end, the hosts’ 25 goals conceded provide a clear reason to expect Essen to create opportunities. This combination supports a cautious preference for goals at both ends alongside the away-win selection.

AI prediction for SG Sonnenhof Großaspach vs Rot-Weiss Essen

Based on the available standings, scoring records and recent form, the AI forecast favours Rot-Weiss Essen to win (Tip 2). Essen’s third-place position, 21 points and positive goal difference offer a stronger statistical foundation than Großaspach’s 16th-place standing and negative goal difference. The hosts’ home record is a counterweight, however, and means a close match is more plausible than a straightforward away victory.

For a correct-score selection, the AI tip is SG Sonnenhof Großaspach 1–2 Rot-Weiss Essen. That scoreline reflects the visitors’ greater overall consistency while allowing for Großaspach’s ability to score at home. It is a prediction rather than a certainty; the teams’ recent results and Essen’s modest away record leave room for other outcomes.

SG Sonnenhof Großaspach performance check

Pascal Reinhardt’s team have taken 12 points from 11 league matches, leaving them 16th ahead of this round. Their record of three wins, three draws and five defeats shows that they have been able to collect results, but not consistently enough to move into a safer position. The main statistical weakness is defensive: Großaspach have conceded 25 goals, nearly twice as many as Essen.

At the WIRmachenDRUCK Arena, their results have been more positive. Three wins, one draw and two defeats from six home matches give the hosts a credible platform for this game. Their challenge will be to combine that home effectiveness with more disciplined defending. If they allow Essen too much room in attacking areas, the visitors’ stronger scoring record could prove decisive.

How is the current performance of Rot-Weiss Essen?

Rot-Weiss Essen are third in the table with 21 points, having won six, drawn three and lost twice. They have scored 19 goals and conceded 13, giving them a positive goal difference and a stronger overall profile than their opponents. Uwe Koschinat’s side have also been reasonably consistent in their last five matches, recording two wins, one draw and two defeats.

Their away form is the principal qualification to an otherwise favourable assessment. Essen have won once, drawn twice and lost twice on their travels, so the league position should not be taken as proof that they will dominate away from home. Even so, their season record suggests they have the quality to take advantage if Großaspach’s defensive vulnerabilities reappear.

Last direct match

No information is available about a previous direct match between SG Sonnenhof Großaspach and Rot-Weiss Essen. The supplied record therefore offers no recent head-to-head result that can be used to assess how either team has performed against the other.

Head-to-head last direct meetings

The recorded head-to-head sample contains zero meetings across all competitions. Accordingly, the record stands at zero Großaspach wins, zero draws and zero Rot-Weiss Essen wins. This fixture will be assessed primarily through current league form, home and away records, and the teams’ respective goal statistics rather than past encounters.

Performance in the last five matches

Across their last five matches in all competitions, SG Sonnenhof Großaspach have registered one win, one draw and three defeats. That return indicates a difficult recent spell, with the side needing to improve its consistency if it is to climb away from the lower part of the table.

Rot-Weiss Essen have recorded two wins, one draw and two defeats over the same number of matches. Their form is also mixed, but they have taken one more victory than Großaspach during this period. The recent figures do not point to an overwhelming advantage, yet they broadly support Essen’s stronger position over the full league campaign.

Last match results

Großaspach’s most recent listed result was a 2–4 home defeat against FC Augsburg. Scoring twice shows that they can contribute in attack, but conceding four goals underlines the defensive problems that have affected their season.

Rot-Weiss Essen’s latest listed match ended in a 1–2 home loss to RB Leipzig. They were also beaten, but the narrower margin contrasts with Großaspach’s result. Both teams will be seeking a response, though Essen’s overall league position gives them a more reassuring base from which to approach the fixture.

Based on the listed prices and the statistical comparison, the preferred selection is Rot-Weiss Essen to win. The visitors’ third-place standing and superior goal difference provide the main rationale, while Großaspach’s home record and Essen’s away results argue against treating the away win as guaranteed. Both teams to score: Yes is a complementary option, supported by the hosts’ home potential and their defensive record.

Conclusion

Rot-Weiss Essen enter this 3. Liga match as the statistical favourites. They have nine more points than Großaspach, occupy third place and possess a substantially better goal difference. Those measures support an away-win prediction, although Essen’s record of one victory in five away matches means that the hosts should not be dismissed. Großaspach have earned three home wins and may be capable of scoring, but their 25 goals conceded remain a significant concern.

The recommended selections are Rot-Weiss Essen to win (Tip 2) and Both teams to score: Yes. A projected 1–2 away victory provides a reasonable summary of the balance between Essen’s stronger overall campaign and Großaspach’s potential to make use of home advantage. As with all betting, these are informed predictions rather than guarantees, and stakes should be kept within sensible limits.
