Erzgebirge Aue vs Greuther Furth Prediction
Erzgebirge Aue reverse the dismal state of their two-game winning streak last week by pulling off a 1-0 win over Regensburg on the road. The hosts, however, have won just twice in their last five matchups, and is currently placed sixth on the ladder, with twenty-six points to their name.
On the other hand, the visitors had just completed back to back wins for the first time this season. Their last clash in the street to see them take the scorecard Karlsruher with 5-1 defeat, before they got the better of Bochum with a 3-1 scoreline.
However, in all honesty, the guests have been erratic in their events so far. They have just two wins from their last nine games to go and have accumulated no more than nine points from a possible twenty-seven.
In sharp contrast, Erzgebirge Aue has built an absolute fortress at home this term. The home team is the only team in the cluster, in addition to Bochum, who have not conceded defeat on home soil.
Dropping points only twice as far as here, the hosts sports star two consecutive wins this time, too. To pile on even more suffering for the faithful traveling, guests are not secured bragging rights in one of their last five visits here.
Thus, Greuther Furth have little or no chance of coming away with a win in this one. Be that as it may, the hosts had to settle for no more than a point, twice at home.
Taking into account that more than half of their last ten meetings with each other here also ended in a draw, the safest option would support the double chance.
In addition, the goal has not been hard to come by in this place this season. Seventeen of the twenty-six goals for the hosts so far comes from their clash at home.
With Greuther Furth found the back of the net five times from their previous outing themselves, relying on the two teams became interested in racking goal tally this weekend.
