Saarbrücken form and stats

8 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Saarbrücken have to build on here at Stadion Ludwigspark in the 3. Liga. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Saarbrücken to get some points in this home game.

Saarbrücken are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Viktoria Berlin. Heartbreak for Saarbrücken in their last match as Viktoria Berlin's Hovi scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Verl (1-2).

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.

Saarbrücken are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, Saarbrücken have conceded 19 goals.

Zwickau form and stats

5-7-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Zwickau in their 3. Liga matches away.

Zwickau lost away at Magdeburg (0-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.

Zwickau are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, five draws and six defeats. From a total of 13 matches.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Zwickau have scored 18 goals in 17 league games away. Zwickau have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
