Osnabruck
WDLWWL
Osnabruck will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 1-0 3rd Liga defeat last time out to Alemannia Aachen.
Osnabruck have been quite ineffective in attack in recent times. Their sum of goals equals just 4 against opposing sides during the course of their previous 6 matches. In those games, Osnabruck have also seen the number of goals scored against them come to 3.
Viktoria Cologne
LWWLLW
Viktoria Cologne will go into this game following a 2-0 3rd Liga win with the eclipse of Wehen Wiesbaden in their most recent match.
For Viktoria Cologne, goals were scored by Albion Vrenezi (64') and Said El Mala (85').
The numbers tell their own story, and Viktoria Cologne have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 8 goals in total. In defence, Viktoria Cologne could really do with shoring things up. That kind of pattern might not be sustained into this next game, of course.

Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Viktoria Cologne should be able to find the back of the net against this Osnabruck lineup, although that might not be enough to avoid a loss.
We reckon that it will be a 2-1 advantage for Osnabruck at the end of the 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
