A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: 2.Bundesliga
Eintracht Stadion – Braunschweig
Saturday, 03rd May 2025 - kickoff 13:00 CET
Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig fights hard to avoid the drop, and they have been excellent in doing that. They are unbeaten in five games up until this game, winning three matches and drawing twice.
They missed a big chance last week to beat the rock-bottom team of Jahn Regensburg, playing only a 1-1 draw, but they still have solid chances to avoid finishing in the bottom three.
As it stands, Eintracht Braunschweig is just above the relegation zone, holding a five-point advantage with three games remaining. Looking at their schedule and their rivals’ schedule, one win in three games should seal the deal and keep them in the 2.Bundesliga.
However, their final three games are against Bundesliga contenders Hamburger SV and SV Elversberg before the last game against Nürnberg, who also have some remote chances.
There is a scenario that even with three defeats in their last three games, they will stay up, depending on how teams below them (SSV Ulm and Preussen Munster) play, and both those teams are terrible.
A thing to note is that Eintracht Braunschweig plays really well and beat two big favorites at home in their last two matches: SC Paderborn (3-2) and Kaiserslautern (2-0).
Fortuna Dusseldorf
Fortuna Düsseldorf is undefeated in four games, but it missed a huge opportunity to land in third spot last week and now sits sixth. Amazingly, they were 0-3 down against Nurnberg, yet they battled back for a 3-3 draw and kept their Bundesliga promotion chances alive.
One point separates them from the third spot, so we should expect them to be highly motivated in their final sprint and go for three wins.
Fortuna Düsseldorf went on a slump at away grounds last month, but improved recently, winning once and drawing once in their last two away games.
The Betting Verdict
Fortuna Düsseldorf has dominated Eintracht Braunschweig in their most recent duels, winning at HT/FT in all their last five duels! Besides easily winning, they scored twice or more in four of those wins.
Fortuna Düsseldorf now chases another victory in their promotion fight, and I believe quality will prevail with the visitors getting the three points. Back Fortuna Düsseldorf at valuable odds.
