It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the 3. Liga.
Saarbrücken form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadion Ludwigspark as Saarbrücken, who have the most scored goals (23) in 3. Liga, have scored 14 goals to get 13 points from 6 games. The overall stats in the 3. Liga are 4-1-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Saarbrücken drew their last game, 1-1 away at Turkgucu-Ataspor (placed 8th). Preceding that game was the home draw versus Wehen Wiesbaden that ended 3-3.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Saarbrücken have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won three times, drawn one and lost one.
The Saarbrücken manager L. Kwasniok has got the team scoring with 14 from 6 home games in the league. Saarbrücken have conceded 7 in these home matches.
Kaiserslautern form and stats
There's been little loot from Kaiserslautern's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the 3. Liga. Kaiserslautern only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws.
Kaiserslautern go into this game after a win, the home game against VfB Lubeck that ended 1-0. Before that, Kaiserslautern travelled to Hallescher FC and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager B. Schommers when M. Ritter scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.
We have checked recent matches where Kaiserslautern have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were one victory, one draw and seven defeats.
Kaiserslautern have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 7 goals have been scored. Kaiserslautern have conceded 10 goals in these games.
