Viktoria Köln hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 25 points and a 16th position in the 3. Liga table. Visiting Bayern München II holds 13th place with 29 pts.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Viktoria Köln form and stats

Viktoria Köln's struggle is real here at Sportpark Höhenberg with only 10 points collected from 11 3. Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-5. With seven home games in a row without a win, the Viktoria Köln fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ingolstadt game long ago, can be stopped today.

Viktoria Köln enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Hallescher FC's place. The match ended 4-3 with S. Lewerenz, M. Seaton, J. Carls and K. Klefisch scoring. Preceding that game was the away draw at Chemnitzer FC that finished 2-2.

A goal frenzy last time out for Viktoria Köln, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Hallescher FC. Fun stuff to watch! Manager P. Dotchev felt very clever after S. Lewerenz scored the winning goal against Hallescher FC, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 82nd minute.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Viktoria Köln have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found one match with the results: Won zero Drawn zero Lost one.

The Viktoria Köln fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.

Bayern München II form and stats

The visitors are W3-D2-L5 on the road this term. That's in the 3. Liga.

188 minutes! That's how long the Bayern München II goalkeeper Christian Fruchtl and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Bayern München II had fun at their own home (Sportpark Höhenberg) last time out, beating Hansa Rostock 1-0. O. Wriedt scored. Before that one, a nice away victory 3-0 at Uerdingen.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Bayern München II playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Bayern München II win, two draws and one defeat.

Bayern München II are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. The Bayern München II manager S. Hoeneß has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
