MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

Dresden secured a vital victory away from home over Robin Dutt’s Bochum last Tuesday, with Moussa Kone netting the only goal of the game in a crucial 1-0 win at Vonovia Stadium. That was Dynamo’s fourth win of the season, with three of them in the last four league matches under new coach Maik Walpurgis. However, Dresden is actual one of the in-form teams of 2.Bundesliga with making a big step upwards in the league table.

Greuther Furth have looked very solid on their campaign in second tier after having many problems last term. Damir Buric’s troops who finished on 15^thplace, have accumulated a respectable 12 points from their first seven league fixtures, winning three, drawing three and losing just once so far. However, their unbeaten run came to an unexpected end last weekend, when they fall to a 2-0 defeat at Voith-Arena to Heidenheim. Nevertheless the outcome is very good this season so far and they sit very close to the top places.

I can see nothing other than a comfortable home win in this one, Dynamo have been firing on all cylinders actually and Maik Walpurgis should be too strong for Greuther Furth at DDV-Arena at the weekend.

SECOND PREDICTION: HALF TIME HAD – HOME WIN

Dresden have been leading at half time in three of their four home league matches against Greuther Furth so far. With that in mind, put some money on the home team to win the first half of this one again.

HEAD TO HEAD

Dresden have won just one of their past three home league fixtures with Greuther Furth, losing one of those and drawing two.
