The 2. Bundesliga season is shaping up to be a good one as the climax approaches. On Monday evening, Regensburg host Greuther Fürth in a game that will be important to their promotion push.
Due to the difference in the leagues the two sides have been playing in over the years, there have only been three previous meetings between them. Greuther Fürth haven’t won any of the matches, losing two and drawing one which came in the fixture earlier in the season where it finished 1-1. Both teams have scored in all three of the meetings.
A win for the home side can take them within seven points of the promotion play-off place while a loss could put a stop to their promotion ambitions. They are boosted by a fully fit squad as only Adrian Fein is a doubt for the match. Latest matches: SSV Jahn Regensburg

It’s hard to see past a Regensburg win in this one, given the gulf in quality of the squads and the previous meetings between the sides. Backing them to win looks like it will come in but if you want to increase the odds, it might be worth adding the -1 handicap.
