Insights:
  • Rot-Weiss Essen have scored in all their home matches so far.
  • Meppen is in the worst form (0-1-5)

These are hectic days for the host team, as they had a match only three days ago in the 3. Liga. That game was an away game at VfB Oldenburg, so at least Rot-Weiss Essen are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Rot-Weiss Essen form and stats

When playing at home in the 3. Liga, Rot-Weiss Essen have managed 2 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Happy days for Rot-Weiss in their previous game, a fixture away at VfB Oldenburg (placed 16th) that ended with a 5-3 victory. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Zwickau.

Rot-Weiss Essen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 7 games.

Meppen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Meppen so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 0-4-3 (win-draw-lose). The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Meppen, who have now gone eleven games without a victory.

Meppen aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 330 league minutes without a goal. Pourie was the last player to find the net.

Meppen's previous game was their home loss versus Wehen Wiesbaden (0-3).

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Saarbrücken that ended 0-0.

Meppen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 5 wins, 5 draws and 9 defeats. From a total of 19 matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Meppen are hosting Osnabrück in the 3. Liga only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Meppen as they have only managed to score 5 times from 7 away games in the league.
