VfB Oldenburg form and stats

VfB Oldenburg's struggle is real here at Marschwegstadion with only 14 points collected from 17 3. Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-5-9. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for VfB Oldenburg.

Oldenburg haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 253 minutes ago. Hasenhüttl scored that one. Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Felix Dornebusch not having conceded a league goal in 315 minutes.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for VfB Oldenburg, who played 0-0 against Saarbrücken. That match was also played at this venue (Marschwegstadion). It's a bit odd, but the exact result 0-0 has repeated itself three times in a row.

A 0-0 draw away before that, with Rot-Weiss Essen the opponent.

VfB Oldenburg has scored 23 league goals at home this season, in 17 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.
