Heming vs Ullern - 3. Division - Girone 1

A fascinating 3. Division - Girone 1 chapter awaits on September 26, 2026 when Heming take on Ullern at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. The sheer joy on the 18-year-old defender’s face resonated with Paul Schaffran back at the academy.

Form and standings can only tell part of the story when Heming and Ullern cross paths in the 3. Division - Girone 1, and pride alone should guarantee a contest. It has been a solid if unspectacular run for the hosts — WLWLD across their last five with a win rate of 57.89% — and they will want to push on from here. The visitors have been hard to predict on their travels, L in their last five reflecting a win rate of 26.32%. Where Heming have leaned on defensive discipline, Ullern have often taken the initiative going forward, and that stylistic difference should shape the contest. The on-loan Southampton striker had scored on his debut for Auxerre in defeat last weekend but followed it up with the winning goal against Nice to earn his old boss Will Still his first points in the job.

Wing play is likely to be central to the contest. Heming will look to stretch the pitch and isolate their wide attackers, while Ullern must find a way to compress the space and choke the supply lines. In his press conference on Friday, Tuchel admitted it 'hurt him' not to play the United man in America.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. In his latest Sky Sports column, Paul Merson says he would be worried by Roberto De Zerbi's post-match comments criticising Spurs' forward players and medical staff.

Predictions are tricky when the sides are this evenly matched, and small margins — a moment of quality, a slice of luck — could decide it either way. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result. With positions in the 3. Division - Girone 1 table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
