Osnabruck have the chance here to climb out of the bottom three of Bundesliga II. They are 16th and host Regensburg who are just two places and five points above them. They have already lost 11 league games in 2021 but there have been some glimmers of hope for them in recent weeks. Four points had been earned from three games, including a vital win at Karlsruher ending a run of 11 league matches without a victory. Sunday was a disastrous day for Osnabruck as they lost 4-0 at home to Braunschweig dumping them into the bottom three. The home side begin this match three points behind Eintracht Braunschweig and will escape the relegation zone on goal difference if winning this game. Home form seriously needs to be improved because the last ten league games have been lost, with the last win back in October. Such is their decline, a form guide for the last 10 league matches has them five points adrift at the bottom.
Regensburg will see this game as a good opportunity to ensure their safety from relegation. A win will take them eight points clear of the bottom three, losing would narrow the gap to two points. They aren't in great form either with five points from their last four league games. Their most recent fixture saw them draw 1-1 at home to Aue conceding a late equalizer. That was their second league draw in a row. Only one of their last four away league matches has been lost. They have just two away league wins this season and only nine goals scored. Eight out of 12 on the road have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Back that stat to come up in this game.
