It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Diefflen and Elversberg.
Diefflen form and stats
Last season, Diefflen's Reg. Cup Saarland journey ended in the round of 16.An away draw last time out for Diefflen, facing Karbach in a game that ended 3-3. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
A Oberliga: Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Dudenhofen.Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Oberliga: Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar game versus Gonsenheim in only four days. This game is also played here at Stadion Babelsberg.
Elversberg form and stats
Nothing but glory last season for Elversberg, as they won the Reg. Cup Saarland.Elversberg have an excellent away record in the 3. Liga so far with 9-3-2 from 14 games.
It's the second away game in a row for Elversberg, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Verl last time out. A heroic performance from Elversberg in their game against Verl last time out. Things got complicated when Schnellbacher was sent off in the 89th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory!
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Hallescher FC in the 3. Liga.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Elversberg manager Steffen as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against MSV Duisburg.
They concede less than a goal on average per away game (12 so far).
