Erzgebirge Aue
WWLLLW
Erzgebirge Aue come into this clash after a 2-1 3rd Liga win with the eclipse of VfB Stuttgart II in their last game.
For Erzgebirge Aue, the goals were scored by Mirnes Pepić (32') and Maxim Burghardt (82'). Wahid Faghir (72') was the scorer for VfB Stuttgart II.
The stats tell the story, and Erzgebirge Aue have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 8 goals in all. Defensively, Erzgebirge Aue seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be continued into this game, however.
Heading into this fixture, Erzgebirge Aue are without an away win for the past 2 matches in the league.

Prediction
We envisage that Erzgebirge Aue certainly have the ability to find the back of the net against this Saarbrucken lineup, although it possibly won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
Our selection here is for a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Saarbrucken by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
