VfL Osnabruck vs Regensburg Prediction & Betting tips
The English week in the second Bundesliga is in full swing and things continue to go fast. On Friday evening Osnabrück and Regensburg meet, both teams are in the middle of the table, but still have to squint with one eye down.
Both embody second division averages in many statistics, both tend to struggle in the defensive area. This ensures before the game Osnabrück vs. Regensburg that our forecast is that both teams will score – at least.
Osnabrück and Regensburg are generally not that far apart this season. Regensburg currently has two more points, Osnabrück has a goal difference of three goals. Despite many average values, both still have to be careful. The descent is not yet prevented, the lead is not completely reassuring.
The bookmakers also show that both teams are balanced. Because before the game Osnabrück vs. Regensburg’s betting odds from the betting base odds comparison do not indicate that there is a clear favorite. A victory would help both of them to take a big step towards relegation.
Osnabruck:
Osnabrück started the season in the 2nd Bundesliga as a newcomer and even if you still have to collect points against relegation, the situation is generally good. Osnabrück is in 13th place with 33 points, the lead over the relegation place is four points.
Success in the English week at the Greuther Fürth game association was important. Osnabrück won 2-0 at the Franken, celebrating their third away win this season. At home, Daniel Thioune’s team is actually stronger, which happened before the game Osnabrück vs. Regensburg does not let the odds read out.
Osnabrück is only slightly favored by the bookmakers, which could also be due to the fact that after the corona-related break in previous games it is becoming apparent that the home advantage is disappearing without the backdrop. Many away wins have been seen in the two highest German leagues over the past few days; time will tell whether a trend can now be derived.
The 2: 0 in Fürth was particularly important because Osnabrück was able to end an incredible negative series. The team of Daniel Thioune was waiting for ten games, in the four games before the long-awaited victory against Fürth Osnabrück even conceded 14 goals.
However, confidence in the advancement coach was not shaken; Daniel Thioune had done too much for the club in previous years. It remains to be seen whether the victory will spark the initial spark.
Due to the defensive problems of the hosts and the good counterattacking of the guests, Osnabrück vs. Regensburg our forecast that both teams will score a goal. More tips for the 2nd Bundesliga can also be found at the betting base!
Against Regensburg, Daniel Thioune has to do without Thomas Konrad and Simon Haubrock, otherwise the host’s coach has the entire squad available. Marcos Alvarez, with eleven goals top scorer from Osnabrück, will probably have to sit on the bench again as in Fürth. There won’t be many changes.
Regensburg:
Since the promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, Regensburg has been a team that stands out due to a very unpleasant way of playing. No matter which coach: The Jahn presses aggressively and is efficient on the offensive. This is another characteristic of the team this season and could be the basis for relegation.
Before the corona-related season break, Regensburg lost three times in a row, including against the competitor in the relegation battle, Dynamo Dresden. A slight turnaround is visible after the break. Regensburg remained undefeated against Holstein Kiel, Sandhausen and Nürnberg, but none of these games could be won. A relieve in the relegation battle looks different.
A look at the table of the 2nd Bundesliga shows the problem. Eleventh place may generate deceptive certainty, but the distance to the KSC on the relegation place is only six points. In addition, tail light Dresden still has three games in hand to start catching up.
So Regensburg has to win a game again. The shape curve points slightly upwards, but only draws help little in the long run. Before the game Osnabrück vs. Regensburg also show the odds that the slightly improved results are not yet to be trusted, precisely because the 2-2 win against Nuremberg during the week was a very wild game – against an opponent who is not in good shape.
What is more is an unpleasant remaining program. Regardless of Heidenheim, Regensburg no longer meets the absolute top teams, but with Darmstadt, the KSC, St. Pauli and Aue it has tricky opponents in front of its chest. It is important that the guests get their defensive problems under control. With 46 goals conceded, Regensburg is the second worst defense in the league.
Coach Mersad Selimbegovic has to do without defender Palionis and striker Schneider. Otherwise, the entire squad is available to him. After the English week and the Tuesday game, changes in the starting eleven are very conceivable.
