Meppen vs Viktoria Koln Prediction & Betting tips
Traditionally, there are teams for whom the international break comes due to a small form delle the exact time. As an example, the Victoria from Cologne is likely to lead, which took only two points from the recent three matches and thus had to let the leading group in the 3rd league draw something for the time being.
Experienced coach Pavel Dotchev’s side will now face SV Meppen at the close of the twelfth match day on Monday evening, who ranked seven places behind the Rhinelander in the classification and even lost out in three out of the last four games.
Due to the tabular situation it is a little surprising that before the duel Meppen. Viktoria Cologne are offered such low odds on a home win. The reasons for the favorite role of the blue-white are not really obvious at first glance.
If one considers additionally that the guests from the cathedral city so far put one of the best Auswärtsteams in the third highest league and in addition personnel again fall back on the one or other achievers, we put between Meppen and Viktoria Cologne the prognosis that a tip on Albert Bunjaku and Co. are likely to have a more lucrative value than a home-side bet that could only score six points from five matches in front of their own fans.
Meppen:
Until the end of the SV Meppen had to worry about the league last season. Although the blue and white made only one of their last seven games victorious, it was enough in the end to 13th place, which in turn was sufficient to be able to get involved in 2019/2020 in the 3rd league.
Again, the team of longtime coach Christian Neidhart (since 2013 in office) has set the goal as quickly as possible to collect many points against the descent and then perhaps even look towards midfield. With 14 points after eleven matchdays, the Lower Saxony are indeed in the target and yet you can not shake the feeling that a certain consistency in SVM is completely lost.
So far, the Meppeners have scored four wins (two draws, five defeats), but celebrated all these successes in an impressive manner. Always scored the current 14th of the table namely at least three own goals. In other words, if two or fewer goals for the sports club fell after 90 minutes, the Neidhart team did not yet celebrate a single threesome.
This interesting statistics due to a weak defensive, would still be the wrong approach, because with 16 goals the Meppener are here in league comparison in the healthy midfield. Instead, the proverbial hare is buried in Constance, because not infrequently alternated in this season gala performances with weak performances.
On the last two matchdays before the international break Emsland won their away game against the ambitious Duisburg after a sensational first half 3-1, but only three days later followed a 1: 2 defeat at Hansa Rostock. The blue and white are a real surprise bag, which of course makes it difficult to face Meppen before the encounter. Viktoria Cologne to make a reliable forecast on the outcome of the game.
In any case, the home record only provides a few arguments for assuming a home win. Although the Meppener are after five matches in front of home scenery “after all” at six points, but there were these successes against the completely unsettled at this time 1. FC Kaiserslautern (6: 1) and against bottom bracket Jena (3: 0). The remaining three games in the Hänsch Arena were all lost (17th place in the home table).
Among other things, we are therefore surprised that Meppen against Cologne Viktoria according to the quotas so clearly regarded as a favorite. We would definitely refrain from betting in favor of the hosts and instead examine the quotes for a score more intense.
Marcus Piossek and Valdet Rama are injured. By contrast, captain Leugers is after his injury before his comeback. Many changes in the starting eleven can not be expected despite the mentioned defeat against Rostock. It is possible that Hilal El-Helwe may hope for a start from the start after the Lebanese international scored three goals during the international break against the major footballing powers Turkmenistan and Sri Lanka.
The focus will be again on the strong offensive, which is one of the most dangerous attack series of the 3rd league with 21 goals. Nevertheless, the right balance must be in order to act defensively more stable than most recently (at least one goal since five games).
Viktoria Cologne:
Many clubs from the three German professional leagues used the international break in order to regain self-confidence in test matches or to strengthen automatisms. The Viktoria Cologne completed a friendly match, but came against the city rivals and Bundesliga club 1 FC Cologne 0: 6 under the wheels properly.
No wonder then that coach Pavel Dotchev was not satisfied with the performance of his team and suggested that they could not present themselves. Nevertheless, the experienced coach pulled something positive out of the swat, as players like Daniel Mesenhöler, Mike Wunderlich, Kevin Holzweiler and Steffen Lang were finally able to come in for more than 90 minutes after surviving injury.
But it is also a fact that the Rhinelanders have to show a completely different side on Monday evening. After last three winless games in a row, the Domstädter want in Meppen back on the road to success.
In the course of this negative series, the Cologne won at home against Waldhof Mannheim and Braunschweig, although each one point, but the 0: 4-clap in Zwickau still works today.
For one thing, the first time this season Viktoria remained without a goal. On the other hand, you conceded more than three goals for the first time. Despite the underground performance at the end of September, the total yield with 18 points after eleven games can still be seen very well. The promoted ranks in the upper half of the table and has at least already built a small cushion on the relegation places.
The mentioned 0: 4 broke in the fourth largest city of Saxony incidentally came as a surprise in that the Dotchev-Elf was previously out unbeaten on the road.
With three wins, one draw and one defeat, the Rhinelander make one of the best guest teams in the 3rd league.
Especially the 14 scored goals, which correspond to the top value, are a real announcement and quite enough reason to try on Monday between Meppen and Viktoria Cologne a tip on the next away win of the rankings.
With Najar, Eichmeier or Fritz three players continue to fall due to injury, but at least on the offensive coach Dotchev can build back on his regular team. Captain and achiever Mike Wunderlich is likely to celebrate his comeback on Monday as well as Kevin Holzweiler. And then have the Cologne with Albert Bunjaku in the storm, even the second-best shooter of the entire 3rd league, which could mark already nine hits.
