The visiting Rot-Weiss Essen side should be favourites in this visit to Homberg, as the away team holds a 20 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Regionalliga: West. That game was also an away game, at Borussia M'gladbach II. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Homberg form and stats
Homberg's struggle is real here at PCC-Stadion with only 5 points collected from 6 Regionalliga: West games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-2-3.
Homberg enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Sportfreunde Lotte's place. The match ended 2-0 with M. Lorch and N. Hirschberger scoring. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Köln II.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Homberg as they are travelling to their away game against Wiedenbrück in the Regionalliga: West. That match is four days after this one.
Homberg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Homberg defense is not exactly impregnable. 10 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Rot-Weiss Essen form and stats
Rot-Weiss Essen, who have the most clean sheets (8) in Regionalliga: West, have an excellent away record in the Regionalliga: West so far with 4-3-0 from 7 games. Things are running smoothly for Rot-Weiss who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 13 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Wiedenbrück. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Borussia Dortmund II game have they lost an away game, meaning Rot-Weiss has taken points from seven away matches in a row.
Rot-Weiss have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 273 minutes since they last conceded in Regionalliga: West.
Rot-Weiss play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-0 victory visiting Borussia M'gladbach II (placed 9th).
After this away game Rot-Weiss return home for a Regionalliga: West game against Wuppertaler SV. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Rot-Weiss Essen are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 11 times in 7 away games so far. Rot-Weiss's manager C. Neidhardt has created a great defensive setup working very nicely in away games with only 3 conceded goals. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
