Verl form and stats

Verl, who have the most scored goals (21) in 3. Liga, have played 5 3. Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-2 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Verl against Rot-Weiss Essen the last match, as Ochojski, Lokotsch and Meier were on target. As mentioned above, Verl "killed" Rot-Weiss Essen in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for Meier when beating Rot-Weiss Essen, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

Before that game, the 3-1 home victory against DSC Arminia Bielefeld.

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 Verl have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won 6, drawn 4 and lost 5.

Goal party? Who knows what will happen in this one, but we do know that 8 of the 10 most recent league matches with this side has seen three goals or more.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Verl as they are travelling to their away game against Wiedenbruck in the Reg. Cup Westfalen. That match is four days after this one.

The Verl fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Verl defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Ingolstadt form and stats

The visitors are W1-D0-L4 on the road this term. That's in the 3. Liga.

Ingolstadt might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Jahn Regensburg proved too strong as Ingolstadt slumped to a 2-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Audi-Sportpark. A bonkers fixture with heaps of goals last time out for Ingolstadt, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that entertaining match, will this match be as enjoying?

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Viktoria Köln's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ingolstadt playing away and similar expectations, we found 7 relevant matches. Results were 2 Ingolstadt wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.

In the opposite end, Ingolstadt have conceded 8 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

As for the last four games between these two teams, there's one Verl victory, one draw and two Ingolstadt wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, one match with two goals or less.
