Borussia Dortmund II form and stats

2 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Borussia Dortmund II have to build on here at Stadion Rote Erde in the 3. Liga.

Borussia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Eintracht Braunschweig. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

Before that, Borussia had a home game versus Wurzburger Kickers which ended with a victory 2-0.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Borussia matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, zero draws and one defeat (from three games).

Borussia has scored 7 league goals at home this season, in 5 matches. Borussia have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Viktoria Köln form and stats

Viktoria Köln have only collected 1 point from their away games in the 3. Liga, after 0-1-5 (6 played).

There were no winners in Viktoria Köln's previous match, a 3. Liga home game that ended 1-1 vs Wurzburger Kickers (placed 19th).

A 1-1 draw at Wehen Wiesbaden's stadium 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 Viktoria playing away, we found nine games. Results were two away wins, one draw and six home wins.

Goals are few and far between in Viktoria Köln's away league games. Only 3 goals from 6 travels. The Viktoria manager O. Janßen has some worries about the defense as 13 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last nine meetings: one - four - four (Borussia wins - draws - Viktoria Köln wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
