It's the second opportunity for points this season as Balingen and SGV Freiberg battle it out at BIZERBA-Arena.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Balingen form and stats

The previous season, Balingen's league stats were 13 wins, 7 draws and 16 losses, producing 8th place in the Regionalliga: Südwest. Over these 36 matches they scored 46 goals and conceded 64. Playing at home in the previous season Balingen produced 6-3-9 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 30 conceded.

Balingen are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus FSV Frankfurt. Heartbreak for Balingen in their last match as FSV Frankfurt's Müller scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

This is expected to be a close game, with Balingen perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Balingen as a small favourite), we find 14 games. Balingen has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 6.

SGV Freiberg form and stats

Let's have a look at how SGV Freiberg performed last season in the Oberliga: Baden-Wurttemberg: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 27 victories, 10 draws and 1 defeat. In total they scored 116 and conceded 30 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 13 - drew 6 and lost 0 with 55/16 goals scored/conceded.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Aalen with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Late heartbreak for SGV Freiberg in the Aalen match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with SGV Freiberg playing away and similar expectations, we found 4 relevant matches. Results were 1 Freiberg win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
