The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Meppen so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 0-9-7 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Meppen have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 16 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Meppen are looking to quickly end their 273 minutes long goal drought in the 3. Liga.

Meppen lost away at Borussia Dortmund II (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

A 0-3 loss hosting Ingolstadt before that.

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 Meppen playing away, we found 7 games. Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 5 home wins.
