Meppen form and stats

With 3 3. Liga wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Meppen are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The home team returns to Waldstadion Hauptplatz A after drawing with Elversberg (placed 1st) on their last time out; the game ended 2-2.

Before that game, the home loss against Hallescher FC with the scoreline 2-3.

Sports bettors, take note: A review of the 10 latest league games reveals that 8 of them had at least one goal from each team.

Meppen are traveling soon after this match as the 3. Liga match at Viktoria Köln awaits in three days.

Meppen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 17 goals in 13 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.

Verl form and stats

There's been little loot from Verl's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 12 away games in the 3. Liga. Verl only have 3 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 2 draws.

There were no winners in Verl's previous match, the home game that ended 2-2 vs Hallescher FC (placed 15th). Drawing 2-2 against Hallescher FC after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Kniat needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

Prior to that match, the Verl manager Kniat faced defeat when travelling to Zwickau and losing 1-2.

Betting related statistic: Both sides have scored goal(s) in 10 of this club's last 12 league matches.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The 3. Liga trip to MSV Duisburg.

Verl are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 13 away goals from 12 games (in the league). As for defending, Verl rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 18 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head
