SV Wehen Wiesbaden celebrates a narrow win against SSV Ulm – coach happy!

On January 20, 2026, SV Wehen Wiesbaden gained some breathing space again in the fight to stay in the third division. With a narrow 1-0 win against SSV Ulm, the team was able to collect important points and thus reduce the gap to the relegation place to six points. This match was the start after a change of coach: Daniel Scherning, who only recently took over the reins, seems to be able to set the first positive accents. How tagesschau.de reported, Scherning said after the game: “We are overjoyed to have somehow won this game.”

Donny Bogicevic scored the decisive goal in the 81st minute. The shooter took advantage of a free kick, a tip from assistant coach Frank Steinmetz, and converted it to the delight of his team. The game took place in the Donaustadion and remained goalless in the first half. As the game progressed, SSV Ulm had more possession of the ball, but was unable to exploit Wiesbaden's weaknesses.

The current situation of the teams

With this win, Wiesbaden has stabilized after a weak start to the season and is now firmly in the middle of the table. Ulm, on the other hand, is still deep in the relegation battle. The club is in 18th place in the table and has only achieved one win in the last nine league games - against Viktoria Köln. They are separated by four points from the saving bank, which further complicates the situation for SSV Ulm. How kicker.de states, the upcoming games are of crucial importance for Ulm.

The Wiesbaden team clearly went on the counterattack in this game and, despite a passive style of play in the second half, managed to keep their narrow lead over time. Scherning still criticized the lack of courage and structure that his team showed. He will certainly have to address such points in order to be well prepared for the upcoming tasks, such as the next game against league leaders Verl.

Looking ahead

Wiesbaden will play next Sunday at 7:30 p.m. against leaders Verl, who recently celebrated an impressive 5-2 defeat against Mannheim. Scherning and his team are aware that an improvement in their style of play is necessary in order to survive in this duel. The next game will therefore be a challenge and expectations are high.

There is still a lot to do, but the positive development after the change of coach and the win against Ulm could be the decisive impetus that gives Wiesbaden the support it needs. Fans can be excited to see what awaits them in the coming weeks. In the last few months, a lot has happened with the new substitutes in Wiesbaden's starting eleven, which has brought with it a new playing culture - and these are good conditions for what is to come.
