It's still early in the 2. Bundesliga season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Osnabrück - Darmstadt 98 preview!

Osnabrück form and stats

Osnabrück's first home game here at Bremer Brücke ended with defeat. Last season their home statistics were 14 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from 19 matches. Three consecutive losses here at Bremer Brücke is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Osnabrück are returning here after visiting Sandhausen in a 2. Bundesliga game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to Heidenheim (1-3).

This is expected to be a close game, with Osnabrück perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Osnabrück as a small favourite), we find seven games. Osnabrück has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Osnabrück has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 3 goals from 1 home game.
