Backnang form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Etzwiesenstadion as Backnang have scored 44 goals to get 34 points from 16 games. The overall stats in the Oberliga: Baden-Wurttemberg are 11-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). Backnang has won so many consecutive home games (six in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Etzwiesenstadion. We remember; it was Göppinger SV.

Backnang are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-4 away versus Neckarsulmer SU.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Rielasingen-Arlen in a game that was won 2-1.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Backnang have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won four times, drawn zero and lost zero.

Backnang are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (44 goals in 16 games). Backnang have conceded 21 in these home matches.
