Zwickau form and stats

There's been little loot from Zwickau's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 17 away games in the 3. Liga. Zwickau only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Thielemann, the Zwickau manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Zwickau play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-4 to Freiburg II (placed 2nd). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Freiburg II was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.

A draw for Zwickau before that, at their own venue hosting Saarbrücken (2-2).

The attacking power of Zwickau when travelling is not overwhelming with 15 goals scored from 17 league matches away. For Zwickau, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. Zwickau has visited these top teams five times, and 4 of 5 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Previous nine meetings with these sides: Osnabrück won five, Zwickau were winners in three and we saw one draw. four games with more than 2,5 goals, five matches with under 2,5 goals.
