Week 23 brings us a match on Feb 18th, where Bayreuth will travel to Osnabrück to battle Osnabrück in a clash of these two extremely mismatched 3. Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, 5th placed Osnabrück, recorded a 4-1 win against Ingolstadt. Erik Engelhardt struck first for Osnabrück in the 2nd minute, then Calvin Brackelmann got the equalizer for Ingolstadt in the 19th minute on a feed from Pascal Testroet. Osnabrück looks to continue their winning ways, having won 8 of their last 10, while bayreuth is fresh off their 2-3 loss against Wehen Wiesbaden. Hollerbach scored the first goal for Wehen Wiesbaden in the 50th minute, then Benedict Hollerbach added another in the 53rd minute. Bayreuth looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
On the 13th of August, Bayreuth hosted Osnabrück at the Hans-walter-wild-stadion in their last match together. Bayreuth was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Alexander Nollenberger struck first for Bayreuth in the 82nd minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Osnabrück was frustrated by Bayreuth’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bayreuth ended the match with the shutout victory.
Bayreuth’s top weapon lately has been Ziereis, who has 2 goals in the last five matches. Osnabrück is fortunate enough to have Erik Engelhardt in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored five goals.
