Spelle-Venhaus and Osnabrück met in a Club Friendly on 18 August 2026, with the visitors running out 5:3 winners. L. Opitz scored three times for Osnabrück, while Spelle-Venhaus pulled two goals back through L. Raimund and A. Popov. To be fair, the match had its moments, though the final score tells the real story.
The opening goal came in the fourth minute when L. Raimund found the net for the hosts. Osnabrück responded in the 20th minute through D. Benke, and by then the pattern was becoming clear. L. Opitz levelled in the 28th minute before T. Janotta restored the visitors' lead three minutes later.
And here's the thing about the second half — Opitz kept coming. He added a second in the 41st minute and a third in the 61st, putting Osnabrück beyond reach. Spelle-Venhaus got one back in the 73rd minute, but it was too little, too late.
Our prediction called for an away win with 89 per cent confidence, and that's exactly what happened. Not that we're boasting about it, but the visitors had looked sharp in their last few outings.
Statistically, Spelle-Venhaus edged attacks 63 to 56, but the difference came in conversion. The hosts took three corners while Osnabrück claimed eleven, suggesting the visitors did more with their territory. One yellow card for the home side, none for the visitors.
Osnabrück's form has been mixed — they lost 3-0 to Magdeburg on 15 August and beat Heidenheim 4-3 on the 8th. Spelle-Venhaus won 1-0 against Gütersloh in their most recent outing but lost 6-2 to Borussia Mönchengladbach back in May. This result doesn't change much in either side's trajectory, but it gave Opitz something to build on.
