In their penultimate match, they suffered a 0-1 defeat to Hertha Berlin, followed by a 1-1 draw against Hannover 96. Greuther Fürth has struggled away from home, recording only 3 wins, 3 draws, and 9 losses in their last 30 away matches, along with a disappointing 13 goals scored and 26 conceded. Contrast this with their home form, where they’ve collected 15 points from 30 possible, winning 4, drawing 3, and losing 3. In home matches, the most frequent half-time score has been 1-1 (6 times in 16 matches). Defensive issues have plagued them, having conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 league matches. In 33 league matches, they managed to overturn the score only 3 times when conceding first.
Greuther Fürth enters this match with a clear objective: to secure a win for their continued survival in the 2. Bundesliga. Playing at home, they enjoy the support of their fans but recognise the formidable challenge ahead. Their opponent has already secured promotion and arrives in an attacking mood, necessitating heightened focus and strategic execution. The team must balance defensive caution with attacking efficiency. The pressure to secure a result might weigh heavily, but they need to focus on executing their plan effectively. A strong start could be crucial to building confidence and controlling the match tempo. This is a pivotal moment, and any slip could prove disastrous.
