Match description
Saarbrücken at home averages 1.53 goals scored and concedes 1.06 goals per match, with xG 1.76 for the hosts versus 1.42 for opponents and a positive home goal differential of +8. Waldhof away averages only 1.47 goals scored but concedes as many as 2.06 goals per match, has negative xG (1.50 for vs 1.74 against) and a negative away differential of -10. In the last 5 matches Saarbrücken averaged 1.6 points per game (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss) and scored 4 goals, while Waldhof has 0.8 ppg (0 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss) although they scored 8 and conceded 11, which indicates significant defensive instability from the visitors. Additionally the hosts create more chances (15.29 shots and 5.12 on target at home vs 12 shots and 4.53 on target for the visitors) despite Waldhof having a slightly better conversion rate (12% vs 10%). Given the hosts' better defense, higher xG for Saarbrücken and Waldhof's poor away record, I favor the home win (55%), price the draw at 25% and the away win at 20%.
