- Paderborn have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Osnabrück have the fewest scored goals (25) in 2. Bundesliga
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a 2. Bundesliga game only three days ago.
Osnabrück are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
Paderborn form and stats
7-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Bundesliga numbers at home for Paderborn so far this season.
The Paderborn goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 195 minutes without conceding a goal in the 2. Bundesliga.
Paderborn drew their last game, 0-0 away at Eintracht Braunschweig (placed 15th). Before that game, the 3-0 home victory against Bochum.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Paderborn matches with similar probabilities have ended with three wins, one draw and zero defeats (from four games).
The match schedule is unforgiving for Paderborn as they have a new game in only three days, a 2. Bundesliga match thankfully also at home. Fortuna Düsseldorf are visiting.
A decent goal production from Paderborn in their home games so far, with 26 goals from 14 league matches. Paderborn have conceded 19 in these home matches.
Osnabrück form and stats
The visitors, who have the fewest scored goals (25) in 2. Bundesliga, are W5-D4-L5 on the road this term. That's in the 2. Bundesliga. It's a growing despair in Osnabrück as they have recorded three consecutive losses.
Osnabrück aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 311 league minutes without a goal. C. Santos was the last player to find the net.
Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus Jahn Regensburg.
Osnabrück goalkeeper Philipp Kühn had a great day against Fortuna Düsseldorf, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Osnabrück playing away, we found three games. Results were one away win, zero draws and two home wins.
After this away game Osnabrück return home for a 2. Bundesliga game against Holstein Kiel. That game is only three sleeps after this.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Osnabrück as they have only managed to score 13 times from 14 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Osnabrück have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.
