Bitesize Prediction: Unterhaching vs Rostock – 07/05/25

Competition: Bundesliga 3

Market: Rostock win

Odds: 8/11 @ BetUS

Facing what is a must-win showdown on Wednesday evening, Rostock will travel to an already-relegated Unterhaching.

Starting with the hosts, while Unterhaching might have secured a top-half finish last season, the Reds have endured a public nightmare this time around. Sat rock-bottom of the third-tier standings, Sven Bender’s men have already had their fate confirmed with plenty of time to spare. Collecting just 25 points from any of their 35 appearances this year, the former Borussia Dortmund midfielder finds his downbeat squad limping their way over the finishing line. Last seen settling for a 0-0 stalemate away at Hannover II, Haching have claimed just a single win from any of their previous 11 consecutive appearances – a run that stems all the way back to February 16th. Slumping to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Wehen on April 19th, Wednesday’s hosts will be bracing themselves for another stern examination in midweek. Pencilled in as a real underdog contender here, Bender’s side have remarkably mustered just a sole third-tier victory in front of their own supporters since the start of September.

As for the visitors, putting in what was a rampant performance over the weekend as they stormed their way to a sensational 3-0 romp away at Sandausen, Rostock are enjoying what has become quite the purple patch. Heading into their final three games of the season, Daniel Brinkmann’s side find themselves sat five points adrift of breaking into the promotion play-off spot. Facing what is a must-win showdown on Wednesday evening, the former Paderborn coach has seen his squad hit top gear at a crucial time. Including a 4-0 victory against Verl on April 12th, Rostock have won four of their previous five third-tier appearances. Recording a clean sheet in each of those four victories, Brinkmann’s men will be excited by a dominant record against Unterhaching. Claiming a routine 4-1 win when they welcomed Wednesday’s guests to town for their reverse meeting on September 24th, they have won all of their previous three battles by an aggregate score of 6-1.
