Sandhausen form and stats
There's been little loot from Sandhausen's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 13 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Sandhausen, who have the fewest points (3) away in 2. Bundesliga, only have 1 win to counter their 12 defeats and 0 draws. Bitter travels for Sandhausen as they have lost eight games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Wurzburger Kickers match.
That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Hamburger SV.
As you can tell from the result, the match against Hannover 96 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sandhausen when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing five times, drawing one and winning zero games.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sandhausen as they have only managed to score 8 times from 13 away games in the league. Sandhausen have conceded 29 goals in these games.
