Viktoria Köln form and stats

Viktoria Köln have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the 3. Liga. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

The supporters are hoping that Viktoria Köln will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Borussia Dortmund II (placed 10th). Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Koronkiewicz for missing a penalty kick versus Borussia Dortmund II in the 14th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Unterhaching (1-2).

Viktoria Köln are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Viktoria are not conceding a lot of goals here at Sportpark Höhenberg in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 2 from 3 matches.

MSV Duisburg form and stats

The 3. Liga season is young and MSV Duisburg have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.

MSV Duisburg's previous game was their home loss versus Verl (2-3). Leading 2-0 was not enough for Duisburg in their fight with Verl last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 2-3 loss. MSV Duisburg were so close to getting something from the game against Verl, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.

Before that, the Reg. Cup Niederrhein win away at FSV Vohwinkel. As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and MSV Duisburg playing away, we found 6 games. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 6 home wins.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The 3. Liga trip to Borussia Dortmund II.

4 goals have been conceded by Duisburg in these games.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last eight meetings: four - two - two (Viktoria Köln wins - draws - MSV Duisburg wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
