Expected score: Goppingen W 32-29 Bensheim-Auerbach W
Goppingen W host Bensheim-Auerbach W in the 1. Bundesliga Women on 18 October 2026. Both sides sit in the upper half of the table but remain winnable propositions for their opponents. Goppingen hold seventh place with 4 points from 5 games; Bensheim-Auerbach are sixth with 5 points. This is a tight contest between two mid-table sides looking to climb.
Team form
Goppingen W
Goppingen W have won 2 of their last 5 matches, most recently beating Leipzig W 35–27 at home on 19 September. They lost their last outing away at Neckarsulmer W 28–31 on 7 October. Over these five games they scored 33.0 goals per match and conceded 31.0, showing an attacking threat but also defensive vulnerability. Their form is mixed: two wins, two losses, and a cup victory suggest they can compete but lack consistency.
Bensheim-Auerbach W
Bensheim-Auerbach W have also won 2 of their last 5 matches. They beat Buxtehuder SV 30–25 away on 19 September but fell to Oldenburg W 30–35 at home last time out on 7 October. Across five games they averaged 30.0 goals for and 29.2 against — a tighter defensive record than Goppingen but marginally lower scoring output. One draw in this run shows they can grind out results, but they too lack a decisive winning streak.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record exists between these two sides in the available data.
Key factors
Goppingen's home advantage is material here. They scored 35 goals in their last home match and have won two of three at their ground in this run. Bensheim-Auerbach, by contrast, lost their most recent home fixture and have not shown the same comfort on the road. Goppingen's defensive frailty — conceding 31 per game — will concern them against a Bensheim-Auerbach side that has tightened up defensively. Bensheim-Auerbach's one draw suggests they can absorb pressure, but Goppingen's attacking output at home is their stronger suit. Neither side has built real momentum, which argues for caution in backing either decisively.
Prediction
The data points to a close match. Goppingen are favoured by their home ground and recent scoring form, but Bensheim-Auerbach's superior defensive discipline and league position (sixth vs seventh) keep them in the contest. Both teams average around 30–33 goals per game, and the expected goal balance slightly favours the hosts. A draw is unlikely given the attacking nature of both sides, but it remains possible. Goppingen's inconsistency and Bensheim-Auerbach's resilience suggest a narrow home win is the most probable outcome, though the margin is not commanding.
Goppingen W are the favourite to win this match. However, confidence is moderate: Goppingen lack the form to be considered a strong pick, and Bensheim-Auerbach have shown enough defensive solidity to make this competitive. Back Goppingen with caution, and consider the draw as a safety valve if you prefer lower risk. The match is likely to be close and neither side should be backed with conviction.
