Betting Insights
- Duisburg are the 1.67 favorites to win this one and we think they will have too much for Aue, whose home record this term reads: W4, D7, L7 and have conceded an average of 1.78 goals per-game at home.
- Duisburg have won five, drawn five and lost eight on the road in 3.Liga.
- Aue’s recent form reads: L, D, D, D, W, and that includes a 2-2 draw away to Stuttgart II, a 2-2 home draw with Wehen Wiesbaden and a 5-3 away win at Ingolstadt.
Prediction
- Promotion chasing Duisburg to take all three points.
- Instead, we’re taking the over on 2.5 goals at 1.56 and backing both teams to score at 1.55 as the away side should be able to carve out enough chances to get on the scoresheet while Aue will need to get forward to register.
