Zwickau form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zwickau so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-5 (win-draw-lose).

There might be some fixture complaints from Zwickau as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 1-2 against Waldhof Mannheim.

That result followed a home victory 4-3 versus Osnabrück.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Zwickau when being an outsider away as they are today, we find 5 matches with the visitors losing 1 time, drawing 1 and winning 3 games.

Zwickau have another fixture away in just four nights, a Reg. Cup Sachsen fixture against Heidenauer SV. A back-breaking timetable for the visitors!

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Zwickau have conceded 17 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head
