After a loss in their previous game against Eintracht Braunschweig in Bundesliga 2 action, Osnabruck will be aiming to make amends here.

The trend of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Osnabruck has become noticeable recently. A glance at their last six meetings shows that it’s happened 5 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal tally of 14 while Osnabruck have scored 5. Still, we’ll just have to find out if that pattern will continue on in this next game or not.
