Zwickau form and stats

3 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Zwickau have to build on here at GGZ Arena in the 3. Liga.

In their previous game, the manager Enochs led his Zwickau to a defeat away at MSV Duisburg. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at GGZ Arena. As you see from the result above, Zwickau suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

In the match before that, Zwickau hosted Meppen and drew the game 1-1.

Zwickau are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 10 games. 12 goals have been conceded.
