Saarbrücken form and stats

Saarbrücken have reached this DFB Pokal stage through battling and winning against Köln and Jahn Regensburg.

This stadium, Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion, has been a fortress for Saarbrücken in the Regionalliga: Südwest so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 9-1-1. Ever since the Hoffenheim II game Saarbrücken has been unbeatable here at Hermann-Neuberger-Stadion producing six straight wins.

A nice win for Saarbrücken last time playing, versus TuS RW Koblenz. That was also a home game and the match ended 7-0 with F. Përdedaj (3), S. Jacob (3) and M. Mendler scoring for the victors. Before that, Saarbrücken had a Regionalliga: Südwest home game versus TuS RW Koblenz which ended with a victory 7-0.

As mentioned above, Saarbrücken "killed" TuS RW Koblenz in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. What a game it was for S. Jacob when beating TuS RW Koblenz, applying the finishing touch to three goals!

Saarbrücken can score goals in their home matches. After 11 league matches they have found the net 27 times. As for guarding their own goal, Saarbrücken have only let in 5 goals at home.

Karlsruher SC form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Darmstadt 98 and Hannover 96 in order to reach 3rd Round of DFB Pokal. Last season their DFB Pokal adventure ended in the 1st round.

There's been little loot from Karlsruher SC's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 10 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Karlsruher SC only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 5 draws. With the Karlsruher SC losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

P. Hofmann was the last player to score for the away team. Karlsruher SC haven't scored a league goal in the last 334 minutes.

Karlsruher SC failed to get anything from their last game, a 2. Bundesliga home match vs Holstein Kiel that ended with defeat 0-2. A 0-1 defeat away at Dynamo Dresden before that.

Karlsruher SC has another fixture away, a 2. Bundesliga game, against Hamburger SV in just three days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

Karlsruher SC are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 10 games (in the league). Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Karlsruher SC have conceded 19 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
