Let's have a look at how Saarbrücken performed last season in the 3. Liga: They landed a 7th position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 11 draws and 11 defeats. In total they scored 50 and conceded 44 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 6 - drew 6 and lost 6 with 25/24 goals scored/conceded.

Impressive finishing from Grimaldi secured the home win 1-0 against Verl in their previous game. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Koschinat when Grimaldi scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Freiburg II that ended 1-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Saarbrücken playing away and similar expectations, we found 12 relevant matches. Results were 2 Saarbrücken wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

A new game in only four days for Saarbrücken, the 3. Liga home match versus Borussia Dortmund II. Busy days.
