The 2. Bundesliga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Erzgebirge Aue and Heidenheim are placed 8th and 11th respectively.

Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

The first 2. Bundesliga game here at Erzgebirgsstadion resulted in a draw. Last season Erzgebirge Aue's home game statistics were 11 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats from 17 games.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Greuther Furth in the 2. Bundesliga last time out and are looking for a win here. In the preceding match a 3-0 victory visiting Würzburger Kickers.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Erzgebirge have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 14 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn five and lost two.

There will be little rest for Erzgebirge after this match as they are travelling to Hamburger SV for a 2. Bundesliga game in only three days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Erzgebirge Aue at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
