The visitors' first away game in the 3. Liga ended in defeat. Last season Zwickau had these away match statistics: Played 18; won 5, drew 8 and lost 5.

Zwickau have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 186 minutes ago. Eichinger was the goal scorer.
