Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Holstein Kiel in Bundesliga 2 competition, Elversberg and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Elversberg managed 46% possession and 10 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Holstein Kiel had 15 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Shuto Machino (39') and Philipp Sander (49') scored for Holstein Kiel.

The stats don’t lie, and Elversberg have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 games, conceding 9 goals overall. In defence, Elversberg have not been doing too well. That sort of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, though.

ℹ️ Team News: Eintracht Braunschweig

Sebastian Griesbeck (Thigh problems) and Yannik Bangsow (Shoulder injury) won’t be playing for Eintracht Braunschweig boss Daniel Scherning. Robert Ivanov is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

We are thinking that Braunschweig could kick off with a 3-5-2 system this time, beginning the first half with Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, Jannis Nikolaou, Ermin Bicakcic, Hasan Kurucay, Marvin Rittmüller, Fabio Kaufmann, Robin Krauße, T. Jóhann Helgason, Anton Donkor, Johan Gómez and Rayan Philippe.

ℹ️ Team News: Elversberg

We are inclined to think that Elversberg seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Nicolas Kristof, Hugo Vandermersch, Lukas Pinckert, Florian Le Joncour, Maurice Neubauer, Robin Fellhauer, Paul Stock, Manuel Feil, Paul Wanner, Jannik Rochelt and Luca Schnellbacher.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Eintracht Braunschweig will most probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Elversberg may well struggle to score a goal of their own but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 3-1 margin for Eintracht Braunschweig at full-time.
