Meppen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Meppen so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 0-7-4 (win-draw-lose). The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Meppen have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone eleven consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Meppen are travelling again after losing away to Waldhof Mannheim in their previous match (1-3). That loss was their first after three consecutive league games winning points.

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs 1860 München.

Meppen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 16 matches.

Both teams to score? This team's most recent statistics suggest that, having played 5 league matches in a row with one or more goals from each side.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 11 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Meppen struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 19 goals conceded from these games.
