Zwickau are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Borussia Dortmund II.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Magdeburg that ended 1-1.

Viktoria Köln form and stats

Viktoria Köln have only collected 7 points from their away games in the 3. Liga, after 2-1-7 (10 played).

It's the second away game in a row for Viktoria, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Borussia M'gladbach in the Club Friendlies 3 last time out.

Preceding that, the 1-4 home loss versus Viktoria Berlin.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Viktoria Köln playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were four Viktoria Köln wins, two draws and two defeats.

The attacking power of Viktoria Köln when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 10 league matches away. Viktoria have conceded 22 goals in these games.
