VfL Osnabruck Team News
Osnabruck finished the previous season as the third-placed team in the third division of Germany, and since Freiburg II, as a “B team,” cannot be promoted to a higher league, VfL secured direct promotion.
Their results in the preseason matches were satisfactory, as Osnabruck didn’t record a single loss (with five wins and two draws). Unfortunately, they couldn’t maintain the same momentum as the league began. Ahead of this match, the home team finds themselves at the bottom of the table with just one point earned and a dismal goal difference of 6:17. They suffered defeats against Karlsruher, Nurnberg, Hansa, Elversborg, and, in the previous round, a convincing 7:0 loss to Hannover, with their only point coming from a draw against Paderborn in the second round of the championship.
Considering these results, there is no doubt that Osnabruck faces a challenging task to remain in the second division of German football.

Hamburger SV Team News
Hamburger has come tantalizingly close to returning to the Bundesliga several times since their relegation, but each time, they squandered the opportunity with incredible setbacks. The previous season followed a similar pattern as they reached the playoffs but were defeated by Stuttgart in the two-legged tie. However, their most significant missed opportunity came earlier in the season when a series of slip-ups allowed Darmstadt to overtake them in the race for direct promotion to Germany’s top football division.
Hamburger has once again started this season phenomenally. After six rounds of play, they sit in second place on the table with 13 points, level with first-placed Dusseldorf but with a slightly inferior goal difference. Following a five-game unbeaten streak (four wins and a draw against Karlsruher), they suffered a surprising loss in the previous round, going down 2<1 to a team from the lower half of the table, Elversborg. These kinds of setbacks have blocked Hamburger’s return to the Bundesliga in previous seasons.
