Goppingen WDrawBensheim-Auerbach W
Goppingen W host Bensheim-Auerbach W in the 1. Bundesliga Women on 18 October 2026, a mid-table clash between two sides separated by just one point in the standings. Goppingen sit seventh with 4 points from five matches, while Bensheim-Auerbach occupy sixth with 5 points. Both teams have won twice this season and remain in the hunt for consistency in what has been a competitive opening phase.
Team form
Goppingen W
Goppingen's recent record shows mixed results. They lost 28-31 away at Neckarsulmer W on 7 October, but that defeat followed a strong DHB Pokal victory over Nurtingen W (41-32). In league play, they won at home against Leipzig W (35-27) and claimed a narrow 29-28 victory over Zwickau W, though they also fell to Thuringer W (32-37). Over their last five matches across all competitions, Goppingen have scored 33.0 goals per game and conceded 31.0, indicating an attacking side that has struggled defensively at times.
Bensheim-Auerbach W
Bensheim-Auerbach's form has been similarly inconsistent. They lost their most recent outing 30-35 at home to Oldenburg W on 7 October, but won their DHB Pokal tie against Zwickau W (31-22) four days earlier. In the league, they beat Buxtehuder SV W (30-25) and drew with Halle-Neustadt W (33-33), though they also lost to BVB Dortmund W (26-31). Over five matches, they have averaged 30.0 goals scored and 29.2 conceded, suggesting a slightly more controlled defensive approach than their opponents.
Head-to-head
No previous meetings between these two sides are on record, so there is no head-to-head history to draw upon.
Key factors
The decisive factor is likely to be Goppingen's superior scoring rate. They have averaged 33.0 goals per game compared to Bensheim-Auerbach's 30.0, and their recent home form includes wins over Leipzig W and Zwickau W. Bensheim-Auerbach have shown defensive solidity, conceding just 29.2 per game, but Goppingen's attacking output suggests they will find opportunities. Both teams have been vulnerable on defence—Goppingen conceding 31.0 per game—which points to a relatively open contest. The home advantage should count in Goppingen's favour given their stronger recent scoring record at this stage of the season.
Prediction
Goppingen are the favourite to win this match. Their attacking threat, demonstrated by their 33.0 goals-per-game average, should pose problems for a Bensheim-Auerbach defence that, while reasonably solid, has conceded 29.2 per game. Goppingen's home record against similar opponents and their recent wins over Leipzig W and Zwickau W suggest they have the edge in this fixture. Bensheim-Auerbach remain competitive and capable of scoring, but they will need to contain Goppingen's forwards to take anything from this match.
Goppingen are expected to prevail at home. The hosts' superior attacking average and home advantage make them the more likely winner, though Bensheim-Auerbach's defensive discipline means this should be a fairly competitive game. A close scoreline is anticipated.
