In the last match, they lost in a home match against Magdeburg, by (2‑5). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 13 points in away matches and 11 at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 25 conceded at home, against 15 goals scored and 14 conceded in away matches.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 5 away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 20 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 15 goals between minutes (61'‑75').
