Viktoria Koln vs Meppen Prediction & Betting tips
A few days after the 27th matchday of the third division, numerous teams have to compete again during the week, this time as part of the catch-up games. Among other things, Viktoria Koln and Meppen are two direct competitors in the relegation battle. Both teams are meanwhile table neighbors with 30 points, only five points before the red zone in the table.
Although the hosts from Cologne recently lost six home games in a row, the best bookmakers see Viktoria Cologne vs. Meppen as favorites according to odds. Among other things, the assessment will be based on the Meppener’s poor away record, after all, SVM has only scored twelve points in 13 away games.
Viktoria Cologne:
Last weekend, Viktoria landed a big point in the relegation battle against Lubeck and was able to expand the points cushion to the relegation places for the time being. In the catch-up game against the table neighbors from the Emsland, more should now be done, with a home win the lead can be increased with the help of a shooter.
According to the latest home record of the Hohenberger, Viktoria Koln vs. Meppen is quite daring to predict the home side. Most recently there were six home bankruptcies in a row for Viktoria, the last time a home game was won in the third division in the first week of December 2020.
As the results in the last home games show, the Cologne team had to struggle with defensive weaknesses recently. In any case, there were an average of two goals conceded per home game this season, the worst value in the entire 3rd division. As the league’s shooting gallery, the defensive vulnerability was largely compensated for by the offensive.
Meppen :
For the time being, the little soaring of the Emslander was ended. As expected, SV Meppen lost to the leaders from Dresden on the last matchday after two wins and a draw. The Emslanders were literally played against the wall against the promotion aspirants and conceded a total of four goals.
For the first time since the 19th match day, the otherwise strong offensive of the Meppener remained without a goal. During the week, the SVM will continue with the away game in Cologne, where the team of head coach Torsten Frings will face a direct relegation competitor.
So far this calendar year, the Emslander have not been able to celebrate an away win abroad. Most recently, there have been three away losses and two draws in the last five games for SV Meppen. With a balance of 3-3-7, the Frings team is currently the third weakest away team in the 3rd division, only Lubeck and Unterhaching scored fewer points on foreign territory this season.
