Saarbrücken form and stats

10-1-1 is the performance here at Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion so far in the Regionalliga: Südwest, giving Saarbrücken a total of 31 from their 12 games here. Outstanding results! This match is a DFB Pokal match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 2 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses in this competition. Ever since the Hoffenheim II game Saarbrücken has been unbeatable here at Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion producing seven straight wins.

The fans are hoping that Saarbrücken will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Regionalliga: Südwest game against Astoria Walldorf. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Fortuna Düsseldorf (after extra-time, 7-6 on penalties) that ended 1-1.

Saarbrücken are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (31 goals in 12 games). Saarbrücken have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals.

Bayer Leverkusen form and stats

Last season their DFB Pokal adventure ended in the 3rd round.

The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 10 wins, 1 draw and only 4 losses in the Bundesliga. When we have look at the DFB Pokal statistics, we find 4W-0D-0L. This is both home and away. Leverkusen have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.

The manager P. Bosz was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground BayArena. Leverkusen suffered a 2-4 loss to Bayern München. Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Freiburg.

As you can tell from the result, the match against Bayern München was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Leverkusen goalkeeper Lukáš Hrádecký had a great day against Bayern München, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

As mentioned earlier, Bayer Leverkusen will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in one win (one by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.

Leverkusen are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 28 times in 15 away games so far. Leverkusen have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
