Zwickau and Waldhof Mannheim have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the 3. Liga.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Zwickau form and stats
1-0-4 (win-draw-lost) are the 3. Liga numbers at home for Zwickau so far this season. The home stadium (SGL Arena) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Zwickau it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Zwickau has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager J. Enochs and the players.
Zwickau are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Wehen Wiesbaden. Ahead of that match, Zwickau lost 1-2 at home to Kaiserslautern.
Zwickau are traveling soon after this match as the 3. Liga match at Viktoria Koln awaits in four days.
Zwickau are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. Zwickau have conceded 8 from these games.
Waldhof Mannheim form and stats
1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss. That’s the product of Waldhof Mannheim playing as the away team in the 3. Liga this season.

After this away game Waldhof Mannheim return home for a 3. Liga game against MSV Duisburg. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The visitors have scored 3 goals from 4 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 4 goals have been conceded by Mannheim in these games.
