Match Preview
VfB Bottrop 1900 will face Rot-Weiss Essen in a pre-season friendly at Jahnstadion in Buxtehude on Saturday, 28 June. Bottrop's recent form has been concerning, with just one point from their last five matches, highlighting struggles in both defence and attack. In contrast, Rot-Weiss Essen has shown more promise, securing four wins in their last five outings. This disparity in form could play a significant role in the match, as Essen looks to build momentum ahead of the competitive season. Historically, the head-to-head record favours Essen, who have won two of the last ten encounters without Bottrop managing a single victory. Notably, in those matches, both teams have failed to score, indicating a potential trend that could influence betting strategies. With Bottrop's defensive frailties and Essen's attacking prowess, this friendly could provide a platform for the latter to assert dominance and refine their tactics before the season kicks off. Expect a challenging outing for Bottrop as they seek to turn their fortunes around against a more confident opponent.
