Regensburg vs Greuther Furth tips and predictions

Patience the likely key for Regensburg

Regensburg are currently in 12th place as they prepare to host 17th place Greuther Furth.

In this fixture Regensburg look like they can take home the bragging rights. But if their opponents are in form then they might get their fingers burnt.

Make of it what you will but Regensburg might have reasons to be confident about adding to Greuther Furth's woes. The visitors are short of form away from home; they've suffered 15 losses from their last 20 away matches. It doesn't look like the recent record of a side that will fancy their chances.

The hosts have enjoyed some form. Regensburg have scored two or more goals in 11 of their recent 20 home matches and that's been backed up from one to eleven. At the back they've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 home games.

Greuther Furth have not enjoyed some of their recent journeys. They actually conceded two or more goals in 17 of their last 20 away matches. Their supposed problems don't end there though. Creating chances away from their own turf has proved to be a challenge for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in 18 of their last 20 away matches.

It's quite possible this is a match that will simply depend on which side is the first to open their account. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that both sides can get in on the act as they can both be dangerous in front of goal. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value for this particular encounter.
