1. FC M'gladbach form and stats

1. FC M'gladbach have played three Oberliga: Niederrhein home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

1. FC M'gladbach are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-6 away versus SF Baumberg. Before that, 1. FC M'gladbach had a home game versus SC Velbert which ended with a victory 2-1.

M'gladbach were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

M'gladbach are traveling soon after this match as the Oberliga: Niederrhein match at Teutonia St.Tönis awaits in three days.

1. FC M'gladbach are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for 1. FC M'gladbach with 6 goals conceded in these matches.

W L W D W

Kleve form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Oberliga: Niederrhein for Kleve with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Kleve won their last game, 2-1 versus Schwarz-Weiß Essen played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Bocholt wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Kleve are hosting Velbert in the Oberliga: Niederrhein only three days away.

The attacking power of Kleve when travelling is not overwhelming with 2 goals scored from 3 league matches away. The Kleve defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
