Greuther Furth welcome Energie Cottbus at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer, Fürth on Sunday, Feb 7 at 1:30 PM in a 2. Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Greuther Furth come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Energie Cottbus, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Greuther Furth here — they've won 8 of 10 previous meetings against Energie Cottbus, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Energie Cottbus won 3–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Greuther Furth a slight edge, but Energie Cottbus are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
