Regionalliga Nord North - 5 Review 2026

The fifth round of the Regionalliga Nord produced a remarkable haul of 37 goals across nine fixtures, signalling an afternoon of attacking intent throughout Germany's fourth tier. The weekend's action saw away teams claim three victories while the hosts secured four wins, with two contests ending all square. The mathematical average of over four goals per match provided plenty of drama for those tracking Over/Under markets, as the fixture list delivered on its promise of entertainment.

Several results stood out from the weekend programme. Weiche Flensburg made the journey to Norderstedt and departed with all three points following a commanding 4-1 victory, while VfB Oldenburg also impressed on their travels, defeating Todesfelde by the same margin. Hamburger SV II proved too strong for VfB Lübeck, running out 3-1 winners, and Eimsbütteler TV secured a home success against Bremer SV. At the opposite end of the scale, SV Drochtersen/Assel slipped to a narrow home defeat against Werder Bremen II, going down 1-0, while HSC Hannover suffered a heavy 3-0 reverse at the hands of Phönix Lübeck.

The round was not short of late drama either. Schöningen hosted St. Pauli II in a thrilling encounter that finished 3-2 in favour of the home side. Those following Both Teams To Score markets would have been satisfied in multiple fixtures, with Atlas Delmenhorst and Kickers Emden sharing six goals in a 3-3 draw, and SSV Jeddeloh playing out an entertaining 2-2 stalemate with Hannover 96 II. With the goals flowing freely and several closely contested battles, round five delivered everything observers of the Regionalliga Nord have come to expect.

Prediction Accuracy Report: Round 5

Round 5 delivered a mixed bag for our predictions in Regionalliga Nord, with our 1X2 accuracy landing at 44% after four correct calls from nine matches. The headline story was the prevalence of upsets and unexpected outcomes that proved difficult to anticipate, particularly at the upper end of the table where several strong favourites were overturned. The aggregate goal market proved far more reliable, with our Over/Under selections hitting at a 78% success rate, while Both Teams To Score selections performed solidly at 67%.

Four matches fell in our favour. Weiche Flensburg's commanding 4-1 victory over Eintracht Norderstedt matched our away win prediction comfortably, while Schöningen's narrow 3-2 triumph over St. Pauli II also proved accurate despite the tight margin. VfB Oldenburg's away success at Todesfelde by four goals to one aligned with our forecast, as did Phönix Lübeck's dominant 3-0 win at HSC Hannover.

The five misses revealed some notable blind spots. Eimsbütteler TV's 3-1 home victory over Bremer SV represented our biggest error, with the home side performing well above expectations. Two draws proved particularly elusive: SSV Jeddeloh's 2-2 stalemate with Hannover 96 II and Atlas Delmenhorst's 3-3 thriller against Kickers Emden both defied our outright predictions. Hamburger SV II's impressive 3-1 away win at VfB Lübeck and Werder Bremen II's narrow 1-0 victory at SV Drochtersen/Assel also caught us off guard, suggesting that the II teams continue to punch above their weight in this division.
