Viktoria Köln form and stats

There's been little loot from Viktoria Köln's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 6 away games in the 3. Liga. Viktoria Köln only have 1 win to counter their 2 defeats and 3 draws. One point away has become something of a habit for Viktoria Köln who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Viktoria are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at Verl (placed 13th). As mentioned above, Viktoria Köln drew the match against Verl. Manager Janßen brought on Becker to rescue the draw from a losing position and it worked.

A 1-2 loss hosting VfB Oldenburg before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Viktoria Köln playing away and similar expectations, we found 9 relevant matches. Results were 4 Viktoria Köln wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats.

Viktoria Köln are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Viktoria have conceded 9 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
