The visiting Hansa Rostock side should be favourites in this visit to VfB Lübeck, as the away team holds a 13 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.
- VfB Lübeck is in the worst form (0-2-4)
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 3. Liga. This match was also played here at Stadion an der Lohmühle - Platz 2. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Hansa Rostock have had more rest.
VfB Lübeck form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 3. Liga this season. VfB Lübeck have only managed 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses from their games here at Stadion an der Lohmühle - Platz 2. It's trouble wherever Lübeck are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Lübeck, their manager R. Landerl and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The VfB Lübeck fans got no joy from their last match, a 3. Liga game also here at Stadion an der Lohmühle - Platz 2: A 0-1 defeat against Waldhof Mannheim (placed 12th). Prior to that, an away loss at Zwickau.
VfB Lübeck are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 9 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Lübeck's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 10 times.

Hansa Rostock form and stats
The visitors are W3-D3-L3 on the road this term. That's in the 3. Liga.

Hansa Rostock won their last game, 1-0 versus Unterhaching played at home. Ahead of that match was the victory versus Zwickau at their stadium, the result 2-0.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hansa Rostock have scored 10 goals in 9 league games away. Rostock have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
