Osnabrück will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 7 points behind Greuther Fürth.
- Osnabrück have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Greuther Fürth has the most scored goals in the first half (21) in 2. Bundesliga
It's no vacation for neither Osnabrück nor Greuther Fürth as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
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 5 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale Mirco Aghetoni. The home stadium (Stadio Comunale Mirco Aghetoni) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Osnabrück it's been a house of straw as the last five games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Osnabrück has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager M. Grote and the players.
Stress levels are on the rise for Osnabrück's attacking players as they have now played 185 minutes without scoring in a league game. L. Ihorst was their last goal scorer.
Osnabrück's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Erzgebirge Aue (placed 7th). A defeat was the result before that one, 0-5 away at Hamburger SV.
Osnabrück has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
Greuther Fürth form and stats
Greuther Fürth, who have the most points (18) away in 2. Bundesliga, have an excellent away record in the 2. Bundesliga so far with 5-3-1 from 9 games.
Greuther has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Fortuna Dusseldorf for a 2. Bundesliga game that ended a draw (3-3). Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Paderborn.
Drawing 3-3 against Fortuna Dusseldorf after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager S. Leitl needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. As you can tell from the result, the match against Fortuna Dusseldorf was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
After this away game Greuther Fürth return home for a 2. Bundesliga game against Erzgebirge Aue. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Greuther have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 22 goals from 9 away matches. 12 goals have been conceded by Greuther in these games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
Head 2 Head
Osnabrück and Greuther Fürth have met before this season: Greuther Fürth - Osnabrück 1-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Osnabrück two wins, four draws and Greuther Fürth four victories.
