Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Saarbrücken form and stats
14 points is a decent return from 7 3. Liga games here at Stadion Ludwigspark for Saarbrücken. The data says 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. Saarbrücken have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.
Saarbrücken faced defeat in their previous match, away at Waldhof Mannheim (1-4). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Kaiserslautern that ended 1-1.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Saarbrücken's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won three matches, drawn one and lost zero.
Saarbrücken are traveling soon after this match as the 3. Liga match at Magdeburg awaits in three days.
Saarbrücken can score goals in their home matches. After 7 league matches they have found the net 15 times. On the other hand, Saarbrücken have conceded 8 goals.
Bayern München II form and stats
Bayern München II, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) away in 3. Liga, have only collected 4 points from their away games in the 3. Liga, after 1-1-5 (7 played). With the München losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in München's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Two away games in a row for München, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 0-2 versus Hansa Rostock in the 3. Liga. A loss against Ingolstadt was the result prior to that, in a home game.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and München playing away, we found one game. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and one home win.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting MSV Duisburg in just three days.
München have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 7 league away games 8 goals have been scored. Bayern München II have conceded 16 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: two - two - zero (Saarbrücken wins - draws - Bayern München II wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
