Verl form and stats

A 3. Liga draw at home so far for Verl. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 7 draws and 6 defeats from 19 matches.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Niclas Thiede not having conceded a league goal in 199 minutes.

Verl enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Wurzburger Kickers's place. The match ended 1-0 with L. Petkov scoring.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Wurzburger Kickers and winning 1-0.

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 Verl have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won seven times, drawn three and lost seven.

Verl has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 0 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Viktoria Köln form and stats

Viktoria Köln have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the 3. Liga were 7 victories, 8 draws and 4 defeats from 19 fixtures.

Home advantage was not enough for Viktoria in their previous game, as they lost their DFB Pokal-match, hosting Hoffenheim (after extra-time), 2-3. Midfield player Simon Handle was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.25/10. Handle scored one goal, served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times. It's a bit worrying for Viktoria that their goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas made seven saves in the Hoffenheim (after extra-time) game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Zwickau in the 3. Liga.

We have checked recent matches where Viktoria have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 17 games were three victories, eight draws and six defeats.

Viktoria Köln have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: zero - four - six (Verl wins - draws - Viktoria Köln wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.
