German 2.Bundesliga

A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: 2. Bundesliga
Eintracht Stadion – Braunschweig

Eintracht Braunschweig
Before this final round, the 2.Bundesliga has many things open, one of them being the relegation battle.
Eintracht Braunschweig (35 points) is third from the bottom, but has a strong chance to avoid finishing in the relegation zone. How? They, of course, have to beat Nurnberg first, and either Preussen Munster (35 points, better goal difference) and Greuther Furth (36 points) must be held to a draw this Sunday.
One of those two will likely not win, so Eintracht Braunschweig has a golden opportunity for outright safety if they beat Nürnberg.
Eintracht Braunschweig lost 3-0 against Bundesliga promotion contenders SV Elversberg last week, but was unbeaten in five straight 2.Bundesliga games before that (three wins, two draws). They are also unbeaten in three games at home, winning twice and drawing once.
Nurnberg
Nurnberg finishes this season at 2.Bundesliga mid-table, so they have no significant motives before the final match of the season. Their form is bad – they failed to win five of their last six games, including each of their last four (three defeats).
Nurnberg lost 1-2 to Koln last week, their sixth game from the last seven in which they conceded at least twice. It was also their eighth consecutive 2.Bundesliga match ending with 3+ goals.
The Betting Verdict
This game is do-or-die for Eintracht Braunschweig. A win could see them miraculously escape relegation and reach outright safety (if some other things also fall in their favor). They have shown many good recent performances, so I suggest backing them to win this game against the uninspired Nürnberg side.
The Pick :
Eintracht Braunschweig 2-1 Nurnberg
