Fortuna Köln and Rot-Weiss Essen are both riding high in the Regionalliga: West with their 4th and 3rd positions respectively. Expect a great game!
The visiting Rot-Weiss Essen played their last game only four days ago, a Regionalliga: West match. That game, against Bonner SC, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Rot-Weiss Essen.
Fortuna Köln form and stats
Fortuna Köln have collected seven points from their first three Regionalliga: West games here at Südstadion, a promising start.
In their previous game, the manager A. Ende led his Fortuna Köln to a defeat in the Regionalliga: West match away at Sportfreunde Lotte. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Südstadion. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Koln II.
Fortuna Köln can score goals in their home matches. After 3 league matches they have found the net 7 times. 3 goals have been conceded.
Rot-Weiss Essen form and stats
Rot-Weiss Essen are happy with their away performances in the Regionalliga: West so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels. The fact that Rot-Weiss have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Rot-Weiss are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Rot-Weiss Essen goalkeeper is eager to challenge this, with his 331 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Two travels in a row for Rot-Weiss Essen, whose manager C. Neidhardt could celebrate last time after the Regionalliga: West win against Bonner SC. Before that, Rot-Weiss secured a home win against Fortuna Düsseldorf II with the score 2-0.
Rot-Weiss Essen are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The Rot-Weiss defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
