MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: DRAW

Sitting in a disappointing 16^thplace, Sandhausen have been struggling for form. They did battle to a 2-2 draw with Jahn Regensburg at Hardtwald Stadium in their last league outing but are winless in their last seven league matches, drawing four and losing three. Their last victory was against Ingolstadt, who are rooted to the bottom of the table, back in October.

Greuther Furth can't buy a win for love nor money at the moment as they crashed to their third consecutive defeat at the weekend. They are totally out of form with only one win and one draw since mid-October, losing five during that time. They were beaten 2-0 by in-form St. Pauli last weekend and have now not scored in their last three league outings. With the pressure starting to mount on coach Damir Buric, Greuther Furth could do with all three points here.

With these two in poor form, this could go either way in Sandhausen. I can see this ending level at Hardtwald Stadium.

SECOND PREDICTION: HILO – LOW

Greuther Furth have scored only six times on the road – the lowest in the league. Sandhausen, meanwhile, have registered only seven goals on their own turf, with only Duisburg boasting an even worse record. A low-scoring league encounter is on the cards.

HEAD TO HEAD

Greuther Furth are unbeaten in their last eight league meetings, winning three and drawing five.
