Carl Zeiss Jena U19 host Energie Cottbus U19 in the U19 Bundesliga Preliminary round on 7 November 2026.

Team form
Carl Zeiss Jena U19
Carl Zeiss Jena U19 have won three of their last five but momentum has stalled. They beat Babelsberg 2-1 at home and scored three goals in each of their previous two victories against Hallescher FC and Chemnitzer FC. However, consecutive away defeats to Eintracht Braunsch (0-3) and Union Berlin (0-3) expose a vulnerability on the road and at home against stronger sides. Over five games they have scored 8 and conceded 8, averaging 1.6 per game in both directions.
Energie Cottbus U19
Energie Cottbus U19 have been far more prolific. They have scored 13 goals in five matches, averaging 2.6 per game, though their defence has been equally porous with 13 conceded. Their last outing saw them draw 3-3 at home with Hallescher FC, and before that they lost 3-5 away to Union Berlin. They did win 2-1 at Hertha BSC and 4-2 at home to Chemnitzer FC, showing they can score in volume but struggle for defensive solidity.
Head-to-head
Carl Zeiss Jena hold the upper hand in recent meetings. They won 7-0 at home in October 2024 and triumphed 2-0 away in November 2024. Cottbus's last win came in April 2022 (3-0 at home), and before that the sides drew 1-1 in April 2017. Jena's dominance in this fixture is clear, though head-to-head records can shift quickly in youth football.
Key factors
Cottbus's attacking threat is the standout feature: 2.6 goals per game over five matches gives them genuine scoring power. Jena's recent defensive lapses—conceding three goals in each of their last two outings—suggest they will struggle to contain that threat. Conversely, Jena's home record and historical edge in this fixture offer some encouragement. The deciding factor is likely to be whether Jena can tighten their backline; if they do not, Cottbus's forwards will punish them.
Prediction
Energie Cottbus arrive as clear favourites. Their superior goal-scoring average, combined with Jena's recent defensive fragility, points to an away victory. Jena's home advantage and head-to-head record provide a floor, but not enough to overturn Cottbus's current form and attacking potency. Both sides have shown they can score, so goals are likely at both ends.
Energie Cottbus U19 are well-positioned to take all three points. Expect a fairly open game with chances for both teams, but the visitors' firepower should prove decisive. A win for the away side is the most likely outcome.
