Kray played 3-3 against Uerdingen in their previous match. As you can tell from the result, the match against Uerdingen was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Prior to that match, the Kray manager Blank faced defeat when travelling to SC St. Tönis and losing 2-6.

The visitors come into this game as huge outsiders. This role is not totally unknown to them, as they have played 9 away matches before with similar winning odds. These games have ended with 4 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. 4 games were lost by at least two goals margin.

Take note that 8 of this team's 10 latest league matches have ended with three goals or more.
