It's still early in the 3. Liga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Zwickau - Carl Zeiss Jena preview!

It's no vacation for neither Zwickau nor Carl Zeiss Jena as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Zwickau form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Zwickau's two home games so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadion Zwickau.

Zwickau's last game was hosting Carl Zeiss Jena and winning 2-0. Heartbreak before that as Zwickau lost 0-3 at 1860 München's place.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Zwickau's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won 1 match, drawn 0 and lost 0.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Zwickau at home. 2 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Carl Zeiss Jena form and stats

No points yet away for Carl Zeiss Jena, from their first 2 matches. It's looking increasingly bleak for Carl Zeiss Jena who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Ingolstadt was the last time a defeat was avoided. Carl Zeiss Jena has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Carl Zeiss Jena, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Zwickau. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-2 defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig.

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 Carl Zeiss Jena playing away, we found eight games. Results were 2 away wins, 3 draws and 3 home wins.

Carl Zeiss Jena has the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips at the early stages of this season.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Zwickau - Carl Zeiss Jena 2-0. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 8 - 0 - 2 (Zwickau wins - draws - Carl Zeiss Jena wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
