The Greuther Fürth & Erzgebirge Aue managers S. Leitl and D. Schuster are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 2. Bundesliga league table.
- Greuther Fürth has the most scored goals in the first half (22) in 2. Bundesliga
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Greuther and Erzgebirge Aue.
Greuther Fürth form and stats
The story so far in the 2. Bundesliga for Greuther Fürth at their home stadium (Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats.
It's back home for Greuther, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Osnabruck away with the result 1-0. Julian Green found the net in that victory. Before that, Greuther Fürth played out a draw 3-3 when visiting Fortuna Düsseldorf.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Greuther Fürth matches with similar probabilities have ended with one win, zero draws and zero defeats (from one game).
The manager S. Leitl will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Werder Bremen in only four days.
Greuther Fürth are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 8 games. Greuther Fürth have conceded 11 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Erzgebirge Aue form and stats
3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses. That’s the product of Erzgebirge Aue playing as the away team in the 2. Bundesliga this season.
Erzgebirge won their last game, 2-1 versus Würzburger Kickers played at home. Preceding that game was the away victory against Osnabruck with the score of 1-0.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day.

Erzgebirge Aue are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 9 games (in the league). Erzgebirge have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
