VfL Osnabruck vs Dynamo Dresden Prediction & Betting Tips

How each side has been playing

Osnabrück's last six league games have been up and down: a draw at Holstein Kiel, a home loss to Hertha, then back-to-back wins over Braunschweig and at Bochum, before losses to Magdeburg and at Heidenheim. Two wins, a draw and three defeats isn't spectacular, but there are signs of life.

VfL Osnabruck: 20 completed matches; Dynamo Dresden: 20 completed matches.

Dresden's recent league form has been tougher. In the same six-match window they've lost four, drawn one at Braunschweig and won just once, at home to Darmstadt. Heavy defeats away at Nürnberg and Heidenheim stand out.

Osnabrück go into this with a bit more momentum than their visitors.

Comparative Team Statistics: VfL Osnabruck vs Dynamo Dresden

A fairly even head-to-head

The last ten meetings between these two, stretching back through 3. Liga and 2. Bundesliga spells, don't show a dominant side. Osnabrück won the most recent clash 1-0 last season, but Dresden had won three of the previous four meetings before that, including a 3-0 away win.

It's a mixed bag rather than a pattern either team can lean on.

Where they sit right now

After six league games, Osnabrück are 11th with seven points, while Dresden are down in 17th on four. Osnabrück have scored nine and conceded twelve, Dresden have scored eight and conceded fourteen.

It's still early days in the campaign, so these gaps could narrow quickly, but right now the table reflects the recent form gap between the two.

Goals at both ends look likely

Neither defence has been tight so far this season. Osnabrück have conceded twelve in six games and Dresden have shipped fourteen in the same number, so there's a reasonable chance both sides find the net.

Whether that translates into goals for the home side specifically is less clear, given how patchy their finishing has been too.
