Hoffenheim II form and stats

Hoffenheim II's struggle is real here at Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion with only 7 points collected from 8 Regionalliga: Südwest games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-5. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Hoffenheim II with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Schott Mainz game, 28 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Hoffenheim faced defeat in their previous match, away at Aalen (2-5). A goal frenzy last time out for Hoffenheim II, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Aalen. Fun stuff to watch!

Preceding that match was a defeat to Balingen (1-2).

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Hoffenheim II's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn zero and lost two.

Hoffenheim are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 9 goals in 8 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Hoffenheim have conceded 11 goals.

FC Gießen form and stats

FC Gießen have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Regionalliga: Südwest, after 1-3-4 (8 played). It's a growing despair in FC Gießen as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Regionalliga: Südwest home defeat versus TuS RW Koblenz with 1-2 on the scoreboard.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ulm wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Gießen when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing three and winning one game.

The attacking power of Gießen when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 9 goals have been conceded by Gießen in these games.
