Saarbrücken form and stats

8-4-5 (win-draw-lost) are the 3. Liga numbers at home for Saarbrücken so far this season.

The Saarbrücken club members got no joy from their last match, also played here at Stadion Ludwigspark: A 1-2 defeat against Verl (placed 17th).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Kaiserslautern (1-3).

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 18 games) they have won nine times, drawn four and lost five.

The Saarbrücken fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 24 in 17 matches. On the other hand, Saarbrücken have conceded 19 goals.

Verl form and stats

Verl have only collected 17 points from their away games in the 3. Liga, after 4-5-8 (17 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Verl, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Saarbrücken (placed 7th) last time out. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Kniat when Rabihic scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 80th minute.

A 4-5 loss hosting Magdeburg before that.

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

The visiting Verl have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 25 goals from 17 games. Verl have conceded 32 goals in these games.

Head 2 Head

The newest past match between these participants is the Saarbrücken - Verl 1-2 played not long ago this season. Head-2-head stats last six meetings: four - zero - two (Saarbrücken wins - draws - Verl wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), zero had two or less. The games between these clubs have sometimes been ill-tempered, having seen 3 red cards from the last six encounters.
