Saarbrücken form and stats

When playing at home in the 3. Liga, Saarbrücken have managed 4 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games. It's been an uphill battle for Saarbrücken in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the MSV Duisburg game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.

A good away victory last time out for Saarbrücken, who won 2-0 against Wehen Wiesbaden (placed 3rd). Sweet to taste a league victory after three games without.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Osnabruck (1-2).

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the 3. Liga game versus Rot-Weiss Essen in only three days. This game is also played here at Stadion Ludwigspark.

The Saarbrücken fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 18 goals in 12 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded. It's worth mentioning that 10 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Bayreuth form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Bayreuth so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-9 (win-draw-lose).

This fixture can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Waldhof Mannheim with 1-3 on the scoreboard.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Rot-Weiss Essen wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

A new game in only three days for Bayreuth, the 3. Liga home match versus VfB Oldenburg. Busy days.

The attacking power of Bayreuth when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 13 league matches away.
