Duisburg vs VfL Osnabruck tips and predictions

Duisburg facing some stormy weather

There's just 3 points between the two clubs as 11th place Duisburg get set to host eigth place VfL Osnabruck.

VfL Osnabruck are coming into this one expecting to win. There is not much on offer in the prices however.

The hosts are setting out to put some of their lacklustre outings behind them. Duisburg's performances at home have not been vintage. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 7 game on their own soil and regardless of the actual line up they will be facing, that probably won't be enough for this test. There have been a few concerns about Duisburg's defence. They have to improve things in that regard. Conceding an average of 1.9 goals across their latest 19 game on their own soil has given them pause for thought.

The visitors will like their chances. Considering that VfL Osnabruck have won their last 4 campaigns you can see why they pose a threat to this home side. Their best performances have been summarised by their confidence in front of goal. They've scored two or more goals in all of their last 6 games. If they don't put out their best starting eleven they still have goal scorers to add to this run of form.

If you're questioning the above, the BTTS No is the best option even though it comes with a low rating.

The hosts come off a 3-1 defeat last Monday against Mannheim.
