The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Sandhausen are in the 11th position while the guesting Dynamo Dresden worry at 18th.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Sandhausen can neither be promoted or relegated from 2. Bundesliga. Dresden are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Sandhausen form and stats
5 victories, 8 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Sandhausen have to build on here at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald in the 2. Bundesliga.
Sandhausen faced defeat in their previous match, away at Stuttgart (1-5). In the match before that, Sandhausen hosted Arminia Bielefeld and drew the game 0-0.
As you see from the result above, Sandhausen suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Martin Fraisl had a busy but productive day in the Stuttgart match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sandhausen matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, one draw and zero defeats (from one game).
The Sandhausen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 20 in 16 matches. Sandhausen have conceded 18 in these home matches.
Dynamo Dresden form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Dynamo Dresden, who have the most conceded goals (34) away in 2. Bundesliga, so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 2-4-10 (win-draw-lose). It's a growing despair in Dynamo Dresden as they have recorded three consecutive losses. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Dresden have lost on their last two travels.
The attacking players of Dynamo Dresden have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 306 minutes.
Dresden are travelling again after losing away to Holstein Kiel in their previous match (0-2). Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Arminia Bielefeld's place.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Dresden playing away, we found three games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and three home wins.
The attacking power of Dynamo Dresden when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 16 league matches away. For Dresden, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
Head 2 Head
