Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig has won three of the last seven games (along with two draws and two defeats) and has worked its way out of the relegation zone. However, its advantage over Wehen Wiesbaden, who are directly below them in 16th place in the relegation zone, is just three points before their direct duel this Sunday. Both teams also have the same goal difference of minus twelve, which makes this game crucial in the 2.Bundesliga relegation battle.
Eintracht Braunschweig is in a more favorable position than Wehen Wiesbaden. Their final two games are against direct relegation rivals. After facing Wehen Wiesbaden, next week they will face Kaiserslautern. A win in this match would guarantee them a 2.Bundesliga survival so expect Eintracht Braunschweig to be fully focused and motivated in this match.
Last week, Eintracht Braunschweig played a 3-3 draw away against the solid team of Greuther Furth. That was their third straight game ending with three or more goals.
Wehen Wiesbaden
Wehen Wiesbaden is on the verge of finishing in the bottom three of the 2.Bundesliga, after failing to win their sixth game in a row last weekend. The 0-1 home loss to Holstein Kiel was their sixth defeat in seven games, so now even two wins from their remaining games against Eintracht Braunschweig and future Bundesliga side of St.Pauli might not be enough to avoid relegation.
On top of everything, Wehen Wiesbaden is without a head coach. After Markus Kauczinski was sacked a week ago, the assistants will take care of the team until the end of the season.
Wehen Wiesbaden has failed to win in five of its most recent six away matches in the 2.Bundesliga, losing three and drawing twice. They also convincingly lost the first duel against Eintracht Braunschweig this season, 1-3 at home.
The Betting Verdict
This is a do-or-die game for both sides. However, I rate Eintracht Braunschweig higher in the relegation battle as they showed much more spirited performances lately.
Wehen Wiesbaden’s body language has been terrible in recent weeks, and it seems they have already accepted that they will end up among the bottom three sides. Back the home team of Eintracht Braunschweig to win this match.
