The visiting Holstein Kiel side should be favourites in this visit to Osnabrück, as the away team holds a 19 point advantage from their 26 league games this season.
- Osnabrück is in the worst form (1-1-4)
- Holstein Kiel have the fewest conceded goals (25) in 2. Bundesliga
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a 2. Bundesliga match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Paderborn.
Osnabrück are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture.
