Betting suggestion:
The most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. Although we expect the visitors to be more in control of the game, Energie Cottbus are also good at threatening the opponent's penalty area. It's worth noting that four of Energie Cottbus' last five official matches have ended with more than three goals at the end of the 90 minutes. We therefore expect a busy match with plenty of chances on both sides.
