Viktoria Köln form and stats

6-2-9 (win-draw-lost) are the 3. Liga numbers at home for Viktoria Köln so far this season.

Viktoria Köln manager O. Janßen and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus 1860 München (placed 4th) in the 3. Liga. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Hallescher FC.

The Viktoria Köln fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 21 in 17 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Viktoria defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Verl form and stats

7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Verl, who have the most scored goals (60) in 3. Liga, playing as the away team in the 3. Liga this season. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Verl are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.

Verl lost away at Hallescher FC (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Before that, Verl secured a home win against Uerdingen with the score 3-0.

Verl have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 30 goals from 15 away matches. As for defending, Verl rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 26 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Verl - Viktoria 1-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Viktoria Köln won seven games, three matches ended with a draw and Verl has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
