📋 Team News: Osnabruck

The Osnabruck boss Tobias Schweinsteiger does not have any fitness worries at all before this game thanks to a completely healthy squad available to choose from.

In all likelihood, Osnabruck should kick off with a 4-4-2 system this time, utilising Lennart Grill, Bashkim Ajdini, Maxwell Gyamfi, Paterson Chato, Florian Kleinhansl, Lukas Kunze, Robert Tesche, Dave Gnaase, Mickaël Cuisance, Erik Engelhardt and John Verhoek.

📰 Team News: Hamburg

Hamburg manager Tim Walter has some current player fitness concerns. Lukasz Poreba (Torn Muscle Fibre) and Anssi Suhonen (Fibula Fracture) will miss out on this game.

It’s our belief that Hamburg appear most likely to play in a 4-1-2-3 system, going with D. Heuer Fernandes, I. Van der, Dennis Hadzikadunic, Sebastian Schonlau, Moritz Heyer, Jonas Meffert, Ludovit Reis, Lászlo Bénes, Bakery Jatta, Robert Glatzel and Jean-Luc Dompe.

🧠 Prediction

In our opinion, Osnabruck have it in them to put a goal past this Hamburg lineup, but a single goal may not be good enough.

We’re going for a close game with a 1-2 winning score for Hamburg when all is said and done. It will be interesting to see how this one goes.
