Record against SV Wehen
Overall: 2 games, 2 wins, 0 draws, 0 defeats, 4:2 goal difference
Both previous matches came in the DFB Cup, with the two teams yet to meet in Bundesliga 2.
Looking back
The last time the two sides met was in the first round of the DFB Cup in the 2011/12 season, with the boys from Cannstatt squeezing through 2-1 courtesy of goals from Ermin Bicakcic (5') and Zdravko Kuzmanovic (51’).
Perfect record
VfB have won all four of their matches at the Mercedes-Benz Arena so far this season, scoring eight goals in the process and conceding just three.
Old friends
Wiesbaden’s central defender Benedikt Röcker, who will have to sit out the match after picking up a red card, made five appearances for VfB between 2011 and 2014, while midfielder Moritz Kuhn played for the U-19s and U-21s from 2010 to 2012. Jeremias Lorch also played youth-team football in Cannstatt in 2010 and 2011.
First win
Our guests from Wiesbaden picked up their opening victory of the season in their last match, defeating VfL Osnabrück 2-0 with goals from Niklas Dams and Manuel Schäffler. This is the first time that VfB and SV will have met in Bundesliga 2.
Goal threats
Hamadi Al Ghaddioui, who bagged the winning goal for VfB in Bielefeld, has been involved in 15 second-flight goals in the 2019 calendar year (10 goals, five assists). Only Fabian Klos (26) and Andreas Voglsammer (18), both of Bielefeld, have been involved in more over the same period.
Ever-present
Right back Pascal Stenzel is the only player to have been on the pitch for every minute of VfB’s current Bundesliga 2 campaign to date.
