The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Unterhaching, who have the fewest points (7) away in 3. Liga, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-7 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Unterhaching much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Meppen will be a tough nut to crack.

Unterhaching are looking to quickly end their 230 minutes long goal drought in the 3. Liga.
