There is plenty riding on this Oberliga - Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar encounter for Schott Mainz and RW Wittlich alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. It has been a dominant campaign for the hosts, W over their last five and a win rate of 71.43% that few in the Oberliga - Rheinland-Pfalz / Saar can match. RW Wittlich travel in decent nick, W in their last five and a win rate of 57.14% this season. Where Schott Mainz have built their campaign on solidity, RW Wittlich have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. The Ghana winger, signed on loan from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise on transfer deadline day, drilled in an angled shot on the run, via the inside of the far post, for his first Derby goal.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Schott Mainz will look to impose their style on home soil, while RW Wittlich are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Anderson can still play proactively from deep, but he will have other technical players around him to lighten the load in possession, and zones to hit rather than always playing to feet.

The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. How each side deals with the other's danger men — and who takes their chances when they come — will be central to the outcome. Al Hilal are in talks with Aston Villa over a deal to sign striker Ollie Watkins, who is keen on the move.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 3-3 draw is easy to envisage. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Fulham's Antonee Robinson could be one of those, who would likely be a cheaper alternative to Hall, who has just enjoyed a breakout season with the Magpies.
