③ A high-scoring draw seems plausible given attacking quality.

① 1860 München should leverage home field and momentum.

② Aue face a difficult task breaking through a solid defense.

③ Clean sheet for the hosts is plausible with a comfortable victory.

① 1860 München appear slightly more clinical on the road.

② Hoffenheim II will try to leverage home advantage but may concede late.

③ An away win is plausible with a tight scoreline.

① Away form is superior.
