2. Bundesliga preview: Can Osnabruck edge out victory against Dynamo Dresden?

Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!

Osnabrück form and stats

4-2-2 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Bundesliga numbers at home for Osnabrück so far this season. Two home wins in a row for Osnabrück bring valid hopes of a third.

Osnabrück are returning here after visiting Holstein Kiel in a 2. Bundesliga game and winning with a 4-2 scoreline. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Hamburger SV in a game that was won 2-1.

A goal frenzy last time out for Osnabrück, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Holstein Kiel. Fun stuff to watch!

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Osnabrück have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

A decent goal production from Osnabrück in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 8 league matches. From these home matches, Osnabrück have conceded only 6 goals.

Dynamo Dresden form and stats

There's been little loot from Dynamo Dresden's travels as they have only collected 2 points from 7 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Dynamo Dresden only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Dynamo Dresden, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Dynamo Dresden's last game was the home draw against Sandhausen (1-1). A 1-2 loss hosting Holstein Kiel before that.

6 saves made goalkeeper Kevin Broll a hero against Sandhausen, contributing heavy to the point gained.

We have checked recent matches where Dynamo Dresden have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were W3-D2-L5.

Dynamo Dresden are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 7 games (in the league). The Dynamo Dresden manager M. Kauczinski has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 3 - 3 - 4 (Osnabrück wins - draws - Dynamo Dresden wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
