Team News

Greuther Fuerth
Osnabrueck
  • Alexander Zorniger could hand starts to Orestis Kiomourtzoglou and Armindo Sieb on Friday evening.
  • Left-back Niko Gießelmann remains the home side's only injured player ahead of the visit of newly promoted Osnabrück.
  • Expect two changes from the away side this weekend with Charalambos Makridis and John Verhoek both in line for recalls.
  • Right-back Bashkim Ajdini will miss the next six weeks with a knee injury, while Emeka Oduah is also unavailable.

Prediction

  • Greuther Fürth were no match for the attacking might of promotion favourites Hamburg last weekend, conceding twice in the first half on their way to a 2-0 away defeat.
  • Friday's hosts were unbeaten in four league games prior to that defeat but have slipped back down to 14th off the back of it.
  • Osnabrück are already starting to lose touch with the teams clear of the bottom three after suffering a worrying 2-0 home defeat against fellow 2. Bundesliga new boys Wehen Wiesbaden last Saturday.
  • Tobias Schweinsteiger's men have recorded just a single win from ten league games this season.
