SSV Jahn Regensburg before the away match in Mannheim: Will the upward trend continue?

SSV Jahn Regensburg travels to SV Waldhof Mannheim with recently stable results. Two matchdays before the end of the season, on Saturday, May 9, 2026 (4:30 p.m.), two table neighbors with equal points in the 3rd league will face each other – a direct duel for places in the tightly packed midfield.

Regensburg heads to Mannheim with momentum

The recent form speaks for Regensburg: In the last five league games, Jahn picked up three wins and one draw with only one defeat – ten points that have noticeably stabilized the team in the final sprint of the season.

• 02.05.2026: 2:1 home win against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim II
• 5:2 away win at F.C. Hansa Rostock
• 2:2 at TSV 1860 Munich
• 1:0 home win against FC Erzgebirge Aue
• 1:3 defeat against Alemannia Aachen on 17.04.2026

The sequence of these results shows: Regensburg has recently been able to win close games (1:0, 2:1) as well as hold their own in matches with open exchanges (5:2, 2:2). Exactly this mix will be required in Mannheim, where small details can decide whether the run continues or breaks off.

The table shows a close duel at eye level

Before matchday 37, the starting position is clear and at the same time extremely close: Regensburg is eleventh, Mannheim twelfth – both teams are on 49 points. For Jahn, the season record adds up to 14 wins, 7 draws, and 15 defeats with 54:56 goals. This underlines the character of a season in which Regensburg rarely had a big cushion, but results were often decided by individual scenes.

This makes the match in Mannheim more than a "normal" away game: It is a direct comparison with the immediate pursuer – and an opportunity to position themselves before the last matchday. At the end of the season, Regensburg will play a home match against FC Energie Cottbus on 16.05.2026 at 1:30 p.m.

Noticeable: Regensburg's games often offer many goals

Regensburg has repeatedly been involved in high-scoring matches this season – a pattern that is also reflected in the extreme results.

• 5:2 away win in Rostock
• 5:2 against TSV Havelse
• 4:3 at FC Erzgebirge Aue
• 4:0 home win against TSV 1860 Munich

Looking at the entire season, the 54 goals scored and 56 conceded fit the picture: Regensburg repeatedly finds solutions going forward, but does not consistently keep a clean sheet defensively. For Mannheim, this means: Jahn is hard to play against when they get going – at the same time, there are regularly moments for the opponent to create chances themselves.

Regensburg goes into the duel at the equally ranked SV Waldhof Mannheim with a decent form curve. In a direct neighborhood comparison, it will be shown whether Jahn confirms the upward trend in the decisive phase of the season – and thus secures a better starting position before the finale against Energie Cottbus.
