RW Essen team news
RW Essen had an impressive preseason. They won six of eight friendly matches, including outstanding victories against Augsburg and Magdeburg. A preseason like that gives RW Essen a lot of confidence that they could fight for promotion.
RW Essen are much better than last season, as the best players stayed in the team and the club additionally strengthened the squad. The most essential signings during the summer are Luca Bazzoli (who came from Preussen Munster), Marvin Obuz (FC Koln), and Michael Kostka (Miedz Legnica). The club also added Jaka Cuber Potocnik (FC Koln), Jannik Hoffmann (Nurnberg), and Franci Bouebari (Freiburg II) on loan.

1860 Munich team news
1860 Munich are another team with an almost perfect preseason. They won five of six matches, including a victory against Jahn Regensburg in the previous game (4-0), another team that should compete for promotion in the 3. Liga.
Some important players from the previous season left the team, like Lukas Reich and Julian Guttau, who left 1860 Munich, but they added adequate replacements. The leader on the pitch should be experienced Kevin Volland, who last season spent in Union Berlin. Volland started his career in 1860 Munich, and his experience will mean a lot for the young squad. The other important signings are Manuel Pfeifer (who came from Hartberg), Max Christiansen (Hannover), Florian Niederlechner (Hertha), and Thomas Dahne (Holstein Kiel).
