The overall stats in the Regionalliga: West are 9-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). After failing to beat SV 1919 Straelen here at Stadion am Zoo, Wuppertaler has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row.
A good away victory last time out for Wuppertaler, who won 2-0 against Alemannia Aachen (placed 13th). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Homberg in a game that was won 2-1.
