The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Uerdingen are in the 11th position while the guesting Unterhaching worry at 14th.

Uerdingen form and stats

Uerdingen, who have the the worst goal difference (-5) at home in 3. Liga, have collected 4 points from their 3. Liga home games so far after 1-1-2.

Uerdingen lost their last game at VfB Lubeck (placed 17th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Uerdingen had a home game versus Saarbrucken which ended with a victory 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Uerdingen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Uerdingen as a small favourite), we find nine games. Uerdingen has won one of these, drawn four and lost four.

The lack of attacking qualities in Uerdingen means that they have only scored 2 goals in 4 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 7 goals have been conceded.

Unterhaching form and stats

Things could have gone better for Unterhaching in their 3. Liga away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right. Recent form does not give Unterhaching much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Uerdingen will be a tough nut to crack.

The attacking players of Unterhaching have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 210 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Unterhaching in their previous game, as they lost their 3. Liga-match, hosting 1860 München, 0-2. A loss against MSV Duisburg was the result prior to that, in a home game.

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

Unterhaching find the net regularly in their away games. 3 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. Unterhaching have conceded 4 goals in these away matches.
