MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN 
Greuther Furth went into last week’s league game against promotion contenders Hamburg on the back of a three-game unbeaten run in league action, having won one and drawn two under new boss Stefan Leitl. However, the team fell to a very unlucky 1-0 defeat against their opponents from northern Germany at Volkspark Arena, with the winning goal arriving five minutes from time. The Shamrock’s recent run of results has seen them move away from the drop zone, but they have still won only once in their last ten league matches (three draws, six losses).

New Dresden boss Christian Fiel takes charge of his first league game at DDV Arena this weekend. The team are still winless in league action in 2019, having lost four and drawn two of their last six league outings. However, they showed determination last time out after finding themselves 2-0 down early at home against Bochum and staging an excellent comeback, eventually earning a point in a 2-2 draw. Dresden are currently in a lowly 13th spot, only seven points above the drop zone.

Dresden are the only side who are still winless in the league in 2019, but they were showing a great sense of morale and determination last weekend under their new manager. I have a feeling they will edge this league contest.

SECOND PREDICTION: ODD/EVEN - ODD
Four of the last five league meetings between these teams have been decided by one goal. This should be a tight encounter, so have a punt on odd total goals to be scored.

HEAD TO HEAD
Greuther Furth beat Dresden 1-0 away from home when they last met in the league in September. The team are in fact unbeaten in their last four league encounters, having won three and drawn one.
