THE PREDICTION

Three defeats in their last four games have left Osnabruck four points from safety in the relegation play-off place. All three of those came at home, extending their miserable losing streak at Bremer Brucke to 11 matches. Their last victory on home turf came on Halloween, and since then it has been a haunted place for VfL. The visitors on Sunday are Fortuna Dusseldorf, who have had a two-week break after their last fixture was affected by the wave of COVID infections that have hit Bundesliga 2 in recent weeks. Their form before that had been inconsistent and it has been on the road, too, but any team visiting Bremer Brucke must fancy their chances of bringing back three points - and Dusseldorf certainly have the quality to do so.
