Eimsbutteler vs VfB Oldenburg tips and predictions

Visitors expecting frustration

If you like attacking football you'll be buzzing for this to deliver the goals everyone is expecting. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

VfB Oldenburg are favoured by the sportsbooks. They should be but they don't provide any value.

Eimsbutteler backers will look at VfB Oldenburg's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. The visitors come into the match with 4 losses from their last 9 matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that deserve to be as short as this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for Eimsbutteler but they're certainly not a shoe-in and a home win seems a fair play.

Eimsbutteler will need to go through their full repertoire if they're to get this done. At home they have been producing some brilliant stuff. Their recent 20 home matches have resulted in them averaging an impressive 1.9 goals per game and that's been backed up from one to eleven. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 2 of their last 3 home games.

At certain times VfB Oldenburg haven't had the right stuff near their 18-yard line. They have conceded at least once in 8 of their last 9 matches. Their harsher critics might be more concerned about their recent slump at the other end of the pitch though. The visitors haven't really been able to depend on their goal-scorers in their latest engagements. They've scored one or less goals in 2 of their last 3 matches.

It's not a hugely confident prediction and the hosts may feel they've exceeded expectations if they end up sharing the spoils. Most observers believe that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for VfB Oldenburg. Nevertheless the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the smart play from that market.
