There is very little separating the two sides in their head-to-head meetings, as Lubeck have recorded seven victories—just two fewer than Oldenburg in their Regionalliga Nord encounters—while the remaining two matches ended level.
Lubeck team overview
VfB Lubeck head into this high-stakes midweek encounter positioned in a modest 11th place, as they look to shake off an uncharacteristic late-season slump that has threatened to overshadow what has otherwise been a steady mid-table campaign.
The Green-Whites have struggled for consistency throughout a turbulent spring period, opening Matchday 32 on the back of a frustrating run that has yielded just one victory from their last five league outings.
Despite their recent downturn, Guerino Capretti’s men have maintained a strong presence on home soil, remaining unbeaten across their last four matches at their own ground (W2 D2), while suffering just a single home defeat in their previous six fixtures against Wednesday's promotion-chasing opposition.
On the team news front, left winger Ware Pakia is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign due to a serious ligament issue, although he remains the only notable absentee for Lubeck heading into this clash.

Oldenburg team overview
Meanwhile, VfB Oldenburg make the trip north occupying third place in the Regionalliga Nord standings with 65 points to their name, although their promotion aspirations have already faded, as they sit 12 points adrift of leaders SV Meppen with only three matches remaining.
Despite recently riding a five-game winning streak in the division, momentum has slipped away from the Lower Saxony outfit following back-to-back defeats against Kickers Emden and SC Weiche Flensburg 08, setbacks that arrived at the worst possible moment and effectively ended their title and promotion hopes.
The side led by Dario Fossi have nonetheless impressed on their travels, boasting the second-strongest away record in the league with 11 wins from 15 outings, while also demonstrating a clinical edge in front of goal, having scored 36 times on the road at an average of 2.4 goals per game.
In contrast to their midweek opponents, Oldenburg will be dealing with a notable list of absentees, as Nick Otto, Linus Schafer and Moses Otuali are all sidelined through injury, while Julian Boccaccio is unavailable due to suspension.

Prediction
Given the sheer disparity in offensive output this season, it is difficult to look past a convincing VfB Oldenburg victory as they continue their relentless pursuit of the Regionalliga Nord summit.
Guerino Capretti’s side possess a clinical edge that has seen them plunder 81 goals so far, and while VfB Lubeck often prove to be a stubborn opponent within the partisan confines of the Lohmuhle, their defensive rearguard has lacked the necessary cohesion to stifle elite-level attacking units.
The hosts may find joy through Manuel Farrona Pulido against an occasionally expansive Oldenburg backline, but the visitors' superior tactical fluidity and high-stakes motivation should ultimately see them secure all three points in a high-tempo affair.
Four Reasons we expect Oldenburg to Win
- Lubeck have failed to beat anyone in their last three league matches, suffering defeat in two of those outings.
- Oldenburg have recorded victories in five of their last seven league matches.
- Oldenburg have emerged as winners from 11 of their 15 away trips this season.
- In the first meeting of the current campaign, Oldenburg swept Lubeck aside with a dominant 4-0 win.
