Sandhausen form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 2. Bundesliga this season. Sandhausen have only managed 0 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses from their games here at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald. With ten home 2. Bundesliga games in a row without a win, the Sandhausen fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Fortuna Dusseldorf game long ago, can be stopped today.

The Sandhausen fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald: A 0-3 defeat against Jahn Regensburg (placed 8th). Midfielder Zenga was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.05 (out of ten) in that game. Zenga dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 31 successful passes (of 38 total).

Before that, Sandhausen played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Holstein Kiel.

This is expected to be a close game, with Sandhausen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sandhausen as a small favourite), we find nine games. Sandhausen has won two of these, drawn four and lost three.

There will be little rest for Sandhausen after this match as they are travelling to Karlsruher SC for a 2. Bundesliga game in only three days.

Sandhausen have scored 6 league goals here from 9 matches, not a lot. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Sandhausen with 21 goals conceded in these matches. Sandhausen has at home met teams with this table position (low), two times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 2 times.

Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

There's been little loot from Erzgebirge Aue's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 9 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Erzgebirge Aue only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws.

The manager Dochev was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground Erzgebirgsstadion. Erzgebirge Aue suffered a 0-5 loss to Schalke 04 (placed 4th). Attacker Owusu got a player rating of 6.84 in the game. "Man of the match" Owusu hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus St. Pauli that ended 2-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Erzgebirge Aue playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Erzgebirge Aue wins, two draws and three defeats.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Erzgebirge Aue's away games in the league this season with only 9 goals from 9 matches. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Erzgebirge have conceded 17 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
