Eintracht Trier welcome VfR Mannheim on Saturday, Dec 5 at 2:00 PM in a Regionalliga Südwest fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Eintracht Trier come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). VfR Mannheim, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Eintracht Trier head into this on the back of a defeat, while VfR Mannheim arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Eintracht Trier and VfR Mannheim have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (1W–2D–1W). Their last encounter ended in VfR Mannheim won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.5 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Eintracht Trier win or a draw looks most likely.
