Saarbrücken form and stats

Only two 3. Liga home games for Saarbrücken so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

The Saarbrücken goalkeeper Daniel Batz is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 227 minutes without conceding a goal in the 3. Liga.

Saarbrücken shared the glory with Borussia Dortmund II in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0.

Ahead of that match, Saarbrücken won a home game hosting MSV Duisburg (2-0).

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Saarbrücken have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found three matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost zero.

The manager U. Koschinat will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Wurzburger Kickers in only four days.

At Stadion Ludwigspark, Saarbrücken has the goal stats of 3-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Magdeburg form and stats

Magdeburg are yet to lose a point on their 3. Liga travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.

Magdeburg had fun at their own home (Stadion Ludwigspark) last time out, beating MSV Duisburg 2-1. S. Conteh and L. Schuler scored.

Preceding that game was the away victory against Havelse with the score of 3-1.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Magdeburg playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Magdeburg wins, three draws and three defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Magdeburg now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 3. Liga game at Wehen Wiesbaden is waiting in only three days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Magdeburg has managed 5 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last two matches): Saarbrücken one win, zero draws and Magdeburg one victory. As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero games had two or less.
