Hallescher FC and Unterhaching have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the 3. Liga.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Hallescher FC form and stats

Hallescher FC have played three 3. Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Hallescher enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at VfB Lübeck's place. The match ended 3-2 with L. Dehl, J. Guttau and T. Boyd scoring. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Meppen in a game that was won 4-1.

A. Papadopoulos was on the receiving end of a red card in the Hallescher-VfB Lübeck match, being sent off in the 90th minute. The game was drawn at that point, but the home side still managed to pull off a 3-2 victory.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hallescher have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won two, drawn zero and lost three.

Hallescher are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 5 goals have been conceded.

Unterhaching form and stats

Unterhaching are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 3. Liga, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). It's a growing despair in Unterhaching as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

The attacking players of Unterhaching have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 210 minutes.

The manager A. van Lent was unhappy after their last game, a 3. Liga match played at their home ground Alpenbauer Sportpark. Unterhaching suffered a 0-2 loss to 1860 München (placed 1st). A loss against MSV Duisburg was the result prior to that, in a home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Unterhaching playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Unterhaching wins, one draw and four defeats.

Unterhaching have scored 3 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. 4 goals have been conceded by Unterhaching in these games.

Head 2 Head
