Dynamo Dresden form and stats

The last season was not a pleasant experience for Dynamo Dresden as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 7 victories from 34 games, relegation was a fact. Dresden's manager Capretti are hoping to lead the team right back to 2. Bundesliga at the first attempt.

We have checked recent matches where Dynamo Dresden have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 9 games were 3 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Kaiserslautern in just four days.

It's a day of discovery for Dynamo Dresden as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Dynamo Dresden have played three with the results W1-D1-L1 (win-draw-lost). In these games Dynamo Dresden has scored 5 goals and conceded 7 times.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five Kaiserslautern victories, one draw and four Dynamo Dresden wins. Over/under statistics; eight of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
