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 Osnabrück - Erzgebirge Aue latest:
- Osnabrück have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
The hosts Osnabrück saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the 2. Bundesliga. That game was an away game at Hamburger SV, so at least Osnabrück are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Osnabrück form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 2. Bundesliga this season. Osnabrück have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale Mirco Aghetoni. The season ticket holders are starting to dread their visits here at Stadio Comunale Mirco Aghetoni, with the home team losing four in a row. They have not avoided a defeat here since the Sandhausen game.
Osnabrück faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hamburger SV (0-5). Preceding that match was a defeat to Wurzburger Kickers (2-3).
As you see from the result above, Osnabrück suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
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 eleven games. Osnabrück has won four of these, drawn two and lost five.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Osnabrück as they have a new game in only four days, a 2. Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Greuther Furth are visiting.
Osnabrück has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 7 matches. Osnabrück have conceded 13 from these games.
Erzgebirge Aue form and stats
Erzgebirge Aue have only collected 8 points from their away games in the 2. Bundesliga, after 2-2-4 (8 played). Erzgebirge has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Bundesliga home defeat versus Fortuna Dusseldorf with 0-3 on the scoreboard. A 1-2 defeat away at Paderborn before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Erzgebirge Aue playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were four Erzgebirge wins, one draw and four defeats.
After this away game Erzgebirge return home for a 2. Bundesliga game against Wurzburger Kickers. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The visiting Erzgebirge Aue have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 10 goals from 8 games. Erzgebirge have conceded 11 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
