Lichtenberg form and stats

The story so far in the Regionalliga: Nordost for Lichtenberg at their home stadium (HOWOGE-Arena Hans Zoschke) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. When Lichtenberg hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Tennis Borussia, Luckenwalde, Viktoria Berlin, Lichtenberg and Germania Halberstadt), they have won 1 of 2 matches! It's trouble wherever Lichtenberg are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

The regulars are hoping that Lichtenberg will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the game against BFC Dynamo (placed 8th).

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-2 away at Tennis Borussia.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Lichtenberg have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 8 matches with the results: Won 4, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Lichtenberg are traveling soon after this match as the Regionalliga: Nordost match at Germania Halberstadt awaits in three days.

The Lichtenberg fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 8 in 7 matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
