The last couple of performances of Jahn have been pleasing; they were unlucky not to beat Duisburg when drawing last time out. At the very least, the fact that they emerged from the game with an expected goal difference of +1.43 tells us that they were far better than their opponents in terms of creating scoring opportunities. Prior to that, they battled hard to secure victory away against Heidenheim.
In front of their own fans, Regensburg have looked like a useful side going forward, but they’ve found it tough to keep things tight at the back. Monday’s hosts come into this fixture having conceded at least once in each of their last three at Continental Arena, while they’ve kept just a single clean sheet in their last ten on home soil. Add in the fact that they’re averaging 1.49 expected-goals against and have recently surrendered numbers of 1.19, 2.35, 1.93, 1.19 and 2.27 and it’s easy to conclude that they’re far from astute defensively. Fortunately, they’re averaging 1.58 expected goals for at home, so all is not lost.
Regensburg haven’t exactly thrived in their attempts to build on last seasons’ 5th-place finish, though they’ve been far from poor. They currently sit in a respectable 8th place. As they’re ten points below the coveted 3rd position, it looks as though a tilt at promotion will be beyond Jahn, but they haven’t allowed that to prevent some decent efforts of late. Having avoided defeat in each of their last four, two of which they’ve won, Monday’s hosts ought to be feeling confident ahead of this match.
