THE PREDICTION
Osnabruck were denied a precious win by a late equaliser at Paderborn in midweek, in another blow to their survival hopes. They have now won just one of their last 16 Bundesliga 2 games, and have lost their last 12 at home, scoring just seven goals. Holstein Kiel have not played since a 1-0 defeat at Heidenheim on 6 April due to a coronavirus outbreak in the squad, so they are looking to make up the ground they have lost in the promotion race. Ole Werner’s men still boast the best defensive record in the division, and given Osnabruck’s shocking home record and the fact they are the joint lowest scorers, the win to nil market has a lot of appeal here.
