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! 2W-1D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the DFB Pokal for Saarbrücken. After failing to beat Hoffenheim II here at Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion, Saarbrücken has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with seven wins in a row.

Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper Daniel Batz not having conceded a league goal in 323 minutes.

Saarbrücken's last game was hosting Balingen and winning 4-0. In the game before, an away victory in the Regionalliga: Südwest match versus FSV Frankfurt with a 1-0 scoreline.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Saarbrücken played a great game against Balingen and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

There will be little rest for Saarbrücken after this match as they are travelling to Astoria Walldorf for a Regionalliga: Südwest game in only four days.

Saarbrücken are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion in their league games, having scored an impressive 31 goals in 12 matches. Saarbrücken have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 5 goals.

Fortuna Düsseldorf form and stats

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

Fortuna Düsseldorf have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-3-7 (12 played). When we have look at the DFB Pokal statistics, we find 3W-0D-0L. This is both home and away.

Fortuna Düsseldorf played 3-3 against Hertha BSC in their previous match. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Freiburg.

Drawing 3-3 against Hertha BSC after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-0. Their manager U. Rösler needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Hertha BSC was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Fortuna Düsseldorf have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 12 away games in the league. The Fortuna Düsseldorf manager U. Rösler has some worries about the defense as 26 goals have been conceded in these travels.
