Homburg form and stats

Homburg have played 10 Regionalliga: Südwest games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). Two home wins in a row for Homburg bring valid hopes of a third.

A nice win for Homburg last time playing, versus SGV Freiberg. That was also a home game and the match ended 5-1 with Hummel, Hoffmann, Mendler, Eisele and Gösweiner scoring for the victors. As mentioned above, Homburg "killed" SGV Freiberg in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with FSV Frankfurt the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

5 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Hoffenheim II playing as the away team in the Regionalliga: Südwest this season. Having won their last three away games Hoffenheim II has no reason to fear anyone.

Two away matches in a row for Hoffenheim, whose coach Wagner could celebrate last time after the win against Astoria Walldorf.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Kickers Offenbach.

Hoffenheim II are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 4 matches.
