Hallescher FC form and stats

4-3-4 (win-draw-lost) are the 3. Liga numbers at home for Hallescher FC so far this season.

Hallescher drew their last game, 1-1 away at Ingolstadt (placed 2nd). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Magdeburg in a game that was won 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hallescher FC perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hallescher as a small favourite), we find nine games. Hallescher FC has won four of these, drawn one and lost four.

Hallescher are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. 14 goals have been conceded.
