Another interesting game in the 3. Liga. VfB Lübeck is in the 20th position after playing six matches. They welcome Hallescher FC who are placed 14th after five games.
It's no vacation for neither Lübeck nor Hallescher FC as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
VfB Lübeck form and stats
VfB Lübeck have played three 3. Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Lübeck has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager R. Landerl and the players.
The fans are hoping that Lübeck will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 3-4 away loss in the 3. Liga game against Turkgucu-Ataspor (placed 10th). Ahead of that match, Lübeck lost 0-1 at home to Dynamo Dresden.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The penalty miss from M. Röser in the defeat against Turkgucu-Ataspor was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
This is expected to be a close game, with VfB Lübeck perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with VfB Lübeck as a small favourite), we find two games. VfB Lübeck has won one of these, drawn one and lost zero.
Lübeck have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. Lübeck's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 3 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hallescher FC form and stats
Things could have gone better for Hallescher FC in their 3. Liga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.
L. Dehl, J. Vollert, J. Derstroff and T. Boyd scored in Hallescher FC's previous match, the home game against Meppen that ended 4-1. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Zwickau.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hallescher playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were three Hallescher FC wins, three draws and six defeats.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Hallescher FC has managed 2 goals and let in 4 from 2 matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: one win for Lübeck, four draws and three wins for Hallescher FC. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
