September 17th features a match where Zwickau will host Borussia Dortmund II in a meeting of these two closely matched 3. Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. 13th placed Zwickau is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Erzgebirge Aue. Gomez scored the first goal for Zwickau in the 14th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Erzgebirge Aue couldn’t muster any offence and Zwickau ran away with the shutout win. Zwickau is looking for direction having earned 12 points in their last 10 matches, while borussia Dortmund II sits at 18th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-2 loss against VfB Oldenburg. Manfred Starke struck first for VfB Oldenburg in the 30th minute on a feed from Kamer Krasniqi, then in the 52nd minute, Antonios Papadopoulos sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Marco Pasalic. Borussia Dortmund II looks to improve on their recent performance, having lost 6 of their last 10.
This match will be the first time these two teams face eachother this season. Last season Borussia Dortmund II won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Borussia Dortmund II hasn’t been successful in netting any goals lately. Their top scorers in the last five matches are Bradley Fink and Njinmah, and they each have 1 goal. Dominic Baumann and Konig are the top scorers for Zwickau in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
