VfB Lübeck are welcoming Waldhof Mannheim for another important game after their 1-2 result against 16th-placed Zwickau.

Insights:
  • VfB Lübeck is in the worst form (0-2-4)
  • Waldhof Mannheim has the most conceded goals (31) in 3. Liga

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the 3. Liga. That game was an away game at Zwickau, so at least Lübeck are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

VfB Lübeck form and stats

VfB Lübeck have played 8 3. Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Lübeck to get some points in this home game.

Lübeck faced defeat in their previous match, away at Zwickau (1-2). Preceding that match was a defeat to Meppen (0-2).

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for VfB Lübeck, as the 3. Liga home game vs Hansa Rostock is only three days away.

The Lübeck fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. Lübeck have conceded 9 in these home matches.

Waldhof Mannheim form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Waldhof Mannheim, who have the most conceded goals (31) in 3. Liga, so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose). Mannheim seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There were no winners in Mannheim's previous match, a 3. Liga home game that ended 2-2 vs Verl (placed 7th). The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-4 defeat against Unterhaching.

Drawing 2-2 against Verl after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager P. Glöckner needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

The schedule is very tough for Mannheim now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 3. Liga game at Uerdingen is waiting in only four days.

Goals are few and far between in Mannheim's away league games. Only 3 goals from 7 travels. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. In the opposite end, Waldhof Mannheim have conceded 11 goals in their away games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
