- Aachen has won 4 of their last 5 matches and are on a 2-game winning streak.

- In recent head-to-head clashes, Cottbus has dominated the games (W2, D1).
Key Players

- Erik Engelhardt leads the line for the Cottbus attack with 15 in 28 league matches and always a threat on his day.
Betting Insights
- Cottbus’s away form is so good that they have won both of their away games since the last international break (W2).
- Backing Cottbus to win this away game is the best move.
- Aachen have won 4 of 13 home games in the 3.Liga this season, losing 8 times, and they have conceded a massive 1.92 goals per match at home, so I expect an away goal or two in this game.
- Energie Cottbus average 1.62 goals per away match and can always be relied on to score but they do concede goals, averaging 1.46 per match away in the 3.Liga.
- Energie have the better away record, have dominated recent head-to-head meetings and are unbeaten in 5 games (W2, D3) so they can take the 3 points from this open, attacking matchup.
Prediction
Back the away side to edge a 3-2 thriller with the game total going over 2.5 goals and both teams to score .
