Venue: Hänsch-Arena (16500 seats)

Struggling Meppen will hope to pull off a surprise win when they welcome enterprising Dynamo Dresden in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 6th and the home supporters will have modest expectations.

Insights:
  • Meppen have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Dynamo Dresden have the fewest conceded goals in the second half (18) in 3. Liga

For Meppen relegation is already certain this season. Only divine intervention and/or time travel can save them and neither look likely. Dynamo Dresden are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Meppen form and stats

Meppen have collected 24 points from their 3. Liga home games so far after 7-3-9. There’s a good atmosphere here at Hänsch-Arena after three straight home wins.

Meppen's previous game was also played at home, ending 4-1 versus Dynamo Dresden (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Osnabruck that finished 2-2.

Goals, goals, goals? Who knows the future, but we do know that 10 of the 13 most recent league matches with this side has contained three goals or more.

The Meppen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 28 in 19 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 32 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
