MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Greuther Furth’s miserable season continues as the team have only collected two wins from 11 matches so far. The side are second from bottom and are looking for a way out of this disastrous situation. After losing 3-1 away at Union Berlin last weekend, they have registered the worst start to a season in the club’s history. Furth do have some talented and experienced players in their squad, but so far they have not been able to make use of their potential on the pitch.

Sandhausen have two wins in their last five league games and a journey to Greuther Furth will prove a tough test of their credentials. They drew 1-1 at home with St. Pauli last time out and remain in fifth despite a poor recent run, which consists of three matches without victory. The team have been mixed on their travels, with one win, two draws and two defeats.

Although Sandhausen are occupying a much higher position in the leagu tablee, Greuther Furth should be capable of claiming their third home win here. They have collected both their wins in front of their own supporters and this should give them additional hope. I’ll back a victory for the hosts.

SECOND PREDICTION: TOTAL GOALS – TWO

With Greuther Furth scoring just seven times in their five home games and Sandhausen netting the same amount in their five away matches, I expect a low-scoring match here. The visitors’ last three matches have all ended with exactly two goals scored in total and I would not be surprised to see the same number of goals again here.

HEAD TO HEAD
Greuther Furth have played four times against Sandhausen at home in 2. Bundesliga and have managed to remain unbeaten during that time. Their record is two wins and two draws against these opponents.
