Struggling Wehen Wiesbaden will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Greuther Furth in the upcoming league round. It's 16th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Wehen Wiesbaden form and stats

With {2 2. Bundesliga wins}, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Wehen Wiesbaden are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Stress levels are on the rise for Wehen Wiesbaden's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. B. Rocker was their last goal scorer.

No payout for Wehen Wiesbaden in their previous match, an away game at Jahn Regensburg that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the home game against Bochum that was lost 0-1.

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

Wehen Wiesbaden have scored 10 league goals here from 11 matches, not a lot. Wehen Wiesbaden have conceded 23 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Greuther Fürth form and stats

Playing away, Greuther Fürth have won 3 games, drawn 3 and suffered 5 defeats in the 2. Bundesliga this season.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Bundesliga home defeat versus Arminia Bielefeld with 2-4 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Hannover 96.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Greuther Fürth, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Greuther Fürth playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were zero Greuther Fürth wins, three draws and five defeats.

Greuther Fürth find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 16 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by Greuther Fürth in these games.
