Wehen Wiesbaden form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Wehen Wiesbaden so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose). With two straight losses from their last two away games, Wehen Wiesbaden are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Wehen Wiesbaden lost away at Arminia Bielefeld (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A draw for Wehen Wiesbaden before that, at their own venue hosting Greuther Fürth (1-1).

Wehen Wiesbaden are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and six defeats. From a total of ten matches.
