Stendal vs Rostocker FC tips and predictions

Visitors expecting frustration

This is a match destined for at least a few goals so this will be entertaining. But that doesn't mean there's value in the prices.

Rostocker FC are favoured by the sportsbooks but they don't provide any value.

Stendal backers will look at Rostocker FC's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. On the road the visitors have not always been at the races; they've lost 5 of their last 7 away matches. That 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 Stendal but they're certainly not a dead-cert and a home win is a fair shout.

Stendal need to be at their absolute best to cause problems. They scored two or more goals in all of their recent 3 home matches and that's been compounded at the back where they've kept a clean sheet in 2 of their last 4 home games.

Rostocker FC have sometimes lost their shape away from home. As a result they've conceded an average of 2.7 goals in their last 7 matches away from their own turf. Some of those issues are creeping into the other end of the pitch. Goal scoring chances away from their own turf have proved elusive for the visitors. They've scored one or less goals in 5 of their last 7 away matches.

Winning might be too much but they can grab something here. Perhaps they'll come away with a draw. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match despite the favouritism for Rostocker FC. This preview is only interested in value though and the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the sharper play from that market.
