An important duel in the bottom section of the 3. Liga, with both Carl Zeiss Jena and Sonnenhof Großaspach experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 19th place.
It's no vacation for neither Zeiss nor Sonnenhof Großaspach as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Zeiss have had a bad season and will be relegated from 3. Liga. For Sonnenhof Großaspach it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
Carl Zeiss Jena form and stats
Carl Zeiss Jena's results here at Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld in the 3. Liga have been very modest with 2 victories, 3 draws and 13 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 14 attempts. With seven home 3. Liga games in a row without a win, the Carl Zeiss Jena fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Zwickau game long ago, can be stopped today.
Carl Zeiss Jena manager R. Klingbeil and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Unterhaching (placed 11th) in the 3. Liga. Preceding that match was the home game against Bayern München II that was lost 1-2.
A disappointing finish for Zeiss in their match versus Unterhaching as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. A painful moment in the game against Unterhaching was the missed penalty kick from E. Zejnullahu in the 21st minute. A goal there would obviously have changed the match and probably the outcome.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Zeiss here at Ernst-Abbe-Sportfeld in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (15 from 18 games). Zeiss have conceded 33 from these games.
