Hallescher FC form and stats

There's been little loot from Hallescher FC's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the 3. Liga. Hallescher FC only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 6 draws.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Magdeburg (placed 1st) in their previous outing. The match ended in a draw 1-1.

That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus Viktoria Berlin.

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 Hallescher FC playing away, we found eight games. Results were one away win, two draws and five home wins.

The attacking power of Hallescher when travelling is not overwhelming with 13 goals scored from 15 league matches away. As opposed to that, Hallescher FC have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
