The season is still fairly new and the 2. Bundesliga table has to be read with caution. So far Osnabrück find themselves in 6th position and Darmstadt 98 are placed 10th.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Osnabrück form and stats
Osnabrück have only played one 2. Bundesliga game here so far, a win. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 17 matches.
The home team returns to Stadio Comunale Mirco Aghetoni after being equal after 90 minutes with Bochum (placed 5th) on their last time out; the 2. Bundesliga game ended 0-0. Before that, Osnabrück had a home game versus Hannover 96 which ended with a victory 2-1.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Osnabrück have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost four.
Early season league goal statistics from Osnabrück's 1 home game: 2 goals, 1 conceded.
Darmstadt 98 form and stats
Darmstadt 98, who have the most scored goals (5) away in 2. Bundesliga, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the 2. Bundesliga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
It's the second away game in a row for Darmstadt, but there's smiles all around after the 3-2 victory versus Nurnberg (placed 12th) in the 2. Bundesliga last time out. Prior to that result Darmstadt won their away game at Nurnberg. The scoreline was 3-2.
Late drama in the previous game, when Nicolai Rapp scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Nurnberg.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 13 similar matches played by Darmstadt in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Darmstadt 98, three draws and seven defeats.
It's early days yet, but Darmstadt 98 has scored 5 and conceded 5 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
