Tasmania Berlin vs Mahlsdorf tips and predictions

Tasmania Berlin won't have it their way

Tasmania Berlin are currently in fifth place as they get set to welcome fourth place Mahlsdorf.

This looks like one of those encounters where Mahlsdorf just do enough to get the result and they're certain to be asked some questions by this Tasmania Berlin outfit. It's difficult to envisage anything but an open attacking contest here as the visitors will be seeking a positive result.

The hosts are certainly not unbeatable. On their own soil Tasmania Berlin's strikers haven't been firing on all cylinders. They've scored one or less goals in 5 of their last 7 home games and regardless of the actual line up they will be facing, that doesn't look like enough for this test. In defence Tasmania Berlin's performances have shown some signs of trouble. They conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 12 matches. If they are facing any selection issues here they could be in trouble.

If the visitors put some decent passages together they should be the ones celebrating come full-time. Mahlsdorf have won 7 of their last 9 matches. Their best performances have been summarised by how clinical they've been in front of goal. They've scored 3.4 goals on average over their last 8 games and on the basis that they don't have any significant injury doubts between now and the 12:30pm kick-off, they should have the goal scorers to enjoy further success here.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the fastest out of the blocks. The sportsbooks are expecting both sides to get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in possession. But with the odds-against price on BTTS No that seems the better option for this particular encounter.
