Verl form and stats

When playing at home in the 3. Liga, Verl have managed 0 wins, 1 draw and suffered 1 defeat from 2 games. Verl has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Kniat and the players.

Verl are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 270 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Corboz).

Verl are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus VfB Oldenburg.

Before that game, the home loss against 1860 München with the scoreline 0-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Verl perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Verl as a small favourite), we find 9 games. Verl has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 3.

There will be little rest for Verl after this match as they are travelling to Delbrucker SC for a Reg. Cup Westfalen game in only four days.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Verl at home in the league. 2 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Zwickau form and stats

It's not happening yet for Zwickau on their 3. Liga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Zwickau has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

The followers enjoyed Zwickau's previous game versus Bayreuth (placed 18th), a 2-0 win played at home. That win felt sweet as this team had gone three league fixtures without winning.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Elversberg wasn't a success with a 0-5 loss.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 11 similar matches played by Zwickau in our archives, and the results are: 6 wins for Zwickau, 4 draws and 1 defeat.
