Eintracht Braunschweig won one week ago 2-0 to newcomer and high flying Darmstadt but lost in Hamburg 0-1 against St. Pauli, therefore they are under huge pressure again today. They are only at the bottom half of the table and they have for sure much higher aims and this is the case for the rumors around the club. Most of the fans are angry about the first matches and they were not able to win much, only two times. The opportunity are there to get the third and important win against a team who had a lot of problems to begin of the season but come to Braunschweig with a lot of self confidence after three wins in a row with 1-0 to Fürth, Aalen and 1860 Munich.
Nevertheless Coach Lieberknecht has a lot of trust in his squad but at the moment he has not found the right lineup, mix or balance for his team. Therefore to the game in Hamburg again some changes are expected. Some changes are possible, Hedenstad is back from injury and can replace Kessel on the wing while Pfitzner made again a weak match and should be replaced too. It looks like that Theuerkauf and Boland plays in the middle while Kruppke and Zuck are the offensive players on the wings. Up front they have not the striker like Kumbela last season and therefore they have to search for the right partner for Nielson. Last time Ademi played but not such successful and maybe Bakenga gets a chance to start today.
Of course Sandhausen has a great run so far but the problems arrived there too. They have a lot of problems on the right wing where Kübler is suspended due to yellow red card against 1860 and Zillner got a huge knee injury in this game what makes it impossible for him to play in the upcoming month. Coach Schwartz has to search for two new players on this side but it is not such easy. On defensive side Pfertzel is an option but in offense they have less alternatives. They think about Kuhn on this position but his is normal a right back wing. Nevertheless he played already there and made a really weak game against Aalen. This was the case of the change to Zillner against 1860 but he had no luck. And according to the missing players Stiefler and Alder they have no alternatives there.
Overall the performances speaking a clear language but I am very keen on Braunschweig this time. They have a huge crowd in their back and they play much better at home as on the road. The strength on home soil is there while Sandhausen count only on their strong defensive line including keeper Riemann and up front on Wooten who scored all three late winning goals. I think this can be to less and also the weak right side can be a key fact here.
PICK: Eintracht Braunschweig AHC -0,75 @ 2,03 3 Units
