After three games we know a little more about the qualities of Saarbrücken and Unterhaching in this fresh 3. Liga season. Read our match preview!

W W D W D

Saarbrücken form and stats

Perfect 3. Liga season at home so far for Saarbrücken, who have the fewest conceded goals (1) in 3. Liga, 2 wins from 2 appearances. The Saarbrücken fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Stadion Ludwigspark and will expect new points from this game. Saarbrücken has played ten games in a row here without a defeat.

The Saarbrücken goalkeeper Daniel Batz is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 257 minutes without conceding a goal in the 3. Liga.

The Saarbrücken supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Hallescher FC in 3. Liga and win 4-0. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Hansa Rostock in a game that was won 2-0.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Saarbrücken played a great game against Hallescher FC and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

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 two games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost one.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Saarbrücken as they are travelling to their away game against 1860 München in the 3. Liga. That match is three days after this one.

At Stadion Ludwigspark, Saarbrücken has the goal stats of 6-0 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Unterhaching form and stats

Unterhaching are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 3. Liga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Unterhaching won their last game, 2-1 versus Meppen played at home. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Ingolstadt.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager A. van Lent when N. Anspach scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 68th minute.

We have checked recent matches where Unterhaching have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were four victories, four draws and five defeats.

After this away game Unterhaching return home for a 3. Liga game against MSV Duisburg. That game is only three sleeps after this.

It's early days yet, but Unterhaching has scored 2 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - one - five (Saarbrücken wins - draws - Unterhaching wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
