There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the 3. Liga table so far. Here's the Kaiserslautern - Viktoria Köln latest:

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Kaiserslautern and Viktoria Köln.

Kaiserslautern are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Viktoria Köln are struggling to avoid relegation.

Kaiserslautern form and stats

Overall 3. Liga stats at home this season for Kaiserslautern, who have the most clean sheets (7) at home in 3. Liga, are 5-9-3 (wins-draw-losses). Two home wins in a row for Kaiserslautern bring valid hopes of a third.

Kaiserslautern travelled for their previous game, a trip to Hansa Rostock that ended 1-1. Ahead of that match, Kaiserslautern won a home game hosting Uerdingen (4-0).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kaiserslautern have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Kaiserslautern as they are travelling to their away game against Hallescher FC in the 3. Liga. That match is four days after this one.

The Kaiserslautern fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 23 in 17 matches. Kaiserslautern have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Viktoria Köln form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their 3. Liga travels is 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

Viktoria are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the 3. Liga against MSV Duisburg (placed 4th). Prior to that result Viktoria won their away game at Carl Zeiss Jena. The scoreline was 3-2.

We have checked recent matches where Viktoria have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were one victory, five draws and four defeats.

A new game in only four days for Viktoria, the 3. Liga home match versus Würzburger Kickers. Busy days.

Viktoria are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 33 times in 17 away games so far. The Viktoria manager P. Dotchev has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Viktoria Köln - Kaiserslautern 2-4.
