There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the 2. Bundesliga table so far. Here's the Hannover 96 - Osnabrück latest:
- Hannover 96 have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
- Osnabrück is in the worst form (1-0-5)
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Osnabrück form and stats
4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Osnabrück playing as the away team in the 2. Bundesliga this season. With the Osnabrück losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Osnabrück are looking to quickly end their 275 minutes long goal drought in the 2. Bundesliga.
Home advantage was not enough for Osnabrück in their previous game, as they lost their 2. Bundesliga-match, hosting Greuther Furth, 0-1. A 0-1 loss hosting Erzgebirge Aue before that.
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. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Osnabrück playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.
Osnabrück have scored 11 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Osnabrück have seen the ball go into their own net 13 times on the road. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
