Struggling Kaiserslautern will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hansa Rostock in the upcoming league round. It’s 19th vs 1st and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Kaiserslautern form and stats
Kaiserslautern have played three 3. Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
No payout for Kaiserslautern in their previous match, an away game at Meppen that ended in defeat 2-3. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Ingolstadt that ended 1-1.
This is expected to be a close game, with Kaiserslautern perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Kaiserslautern as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Kaiserslautern has won two of these, drawn six and lost six.
The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Kaiserslautern here at Fritz-Walter-Stadion in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (2 from 3 games). Kaiserslautern's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hansa Rostock form and stats
Hansa Rostock have six points from their first three away games in the 3. Liga, meaning two victories and a loss. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Hansa Rostock, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Rostock are travelling after their nice 5-1 home win in the 3. Liga against Viktoria Koln (placed 7th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Waldhof Mannheim at their stadium, the result 2-1.
As mentioned above, Hansa Rostock was the only team on the pitch versus Viktoria Koln in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Hansa Rostock in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Rostock, one draw and four defeats.
Rostock are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Hansa Rostock have conceded 5 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
