Hansa 3-1 Oberhausen

Rostock climbed out of the bottom three after making it three wins in a row and five games unbeaten in all since Andreas Zachhuber took charge. 
Hansa went in front through Mario Fillinger in the 21st minute, the midfielder taking advantage of a mistake by Oberhausen's Kim Falkenberg. Eight minutes later however, the visitors were level, Tim Reichert providing the finishing touch to a sharp counter-attack.
The Hanseatic port side continued to apply the pressure however and got their reward five minutes before half time, the excellent Kevin Schindler beating RWO keeper Sören Pirson at the near post. 
Rostock were breathing more easily ten minutes after the restart when Enrico Kern headed them 3-1 up. That would prove to be the end of the scoring, with the result leaving Hansa two points clear of third-from-bottom Osnabrück.

Hansa - RW Oberhausen

Hansa lies on 16th place, first under line. Not so good situation, but much better than before a month. They were practically in lower division, but after that two draws (Ingolstadt 04 and Koblenz, 1-1 both) and two excellent wins. First at home vs  Frankfurt 1899, 2-0, then magnificent (but, for some of us, not surprising he he) win on the road against Greuther Furth, 1-0. Now, they have a real chance to save their status. Seven rounds left, next on the table, Osnabruck has just a point more (travells to face still not safe Augsburg, btw.). Win today is at must. But, big injury worries for boss Zachhuber, eleven players in total, including some keys!

On the other side, Oberhausen holds safe 9th place, nine points above the line. Opposite from Hansa, after a very good run of results and four wins from five league games (13.2.-15.3.), Oberhausen shifted in lower speed and noticed three games without a win. Two draws (Osnabruck 0-0 at home and Kaiserslautern 1-1 away) and defeat against excellent Nurnberg, 0-3 away. They achieved their primary target for this season and now look relaxed and not fully focused. Today will miss eight players, which means 19 on both sides! 

Despite all the problems, very good shape and much higher motivation make from Hansa a clear favorite today. Bet365 offers the highest odd for home win-1.73, while Bwin and the most of others offer decent 1.65. I'll skip handicap, too much missings, it smells like under, 1-0, more than 2-0. Clear home win!
