Perfect 3. Liga season at home so far for Saarbrücken 2 wins from 2 appearances. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadion Ludwigspark.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Daniel Batz not having conceded a league goal in 431 minutes.

Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

Still no away game victory in the 3. Liga for Erzgebirge Aue with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Wehen Wiesbaden with 1-5 on the scoreboard. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Wehen Wiesbaden was particularly ugly (1-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

We have checked recent matches where Erzgebirge have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 11 games were 3 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats.

1 goal so far away for Erzgebirge Aue, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 2 league matches away.
