An important duel in the bottom section of the 2. Bundesliga, with both Dynamo Dresden and Osnabrück experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 13th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Dresden are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Osnabrück is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
