Struggling VfB Lübeck will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Hansa Rostock in the upcoming league round. It’s 20th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- VfB Lübeck has the most dropped points from leading position (18) in 3. Liga
- Hansa Rostock is in the best form (5-0-1)
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a 3. Liga game only four days ago.
VfB Lübeck form and stats
VfB Lübeck have collected 12 points from their 3. Liga home games so far after 3-3-4.
In their previous game, the manager R. Landerl led his VfB Lübeck to a defeat in the 3. Liga match away at MSV Duisburg. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion an der Lohmühle - Platz 2. Ahead of that match, Lübeck won a home game hosting Unterhaching (1-0).
The Lübeck fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Lübeck have conceded 10 goals.
Hansa Rostock form and stats
4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Hansa Rostock playing as the away team in the 3. Liga this season. Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus VfB Lübeck. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Rostock are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Rostock go into this game after a win, the home game against Verl that ended 3-2. Before that, Rostock secured a home win against Saarbrücken with the score 4-2.
An amazing comeback from Rostock last time out, trailing 0-2 before rallying an inspired fight which eventually led to P. Türpitz scoring the winning goal in the 90th minute. The end of the last match, against Verl, was very satisfying as P. Türpitz scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rostock manager J. Härtel as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against 1860 München.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hansa Rostock have scored 12 goals in 10 league games away. As opposed to that, Rostock have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
