Eintracht Braunschweig - RB Leipzig

Almost all top teams failed this weekend what means that both teams have a great chance to return in promotion fight. Braunschweig with the better options because they are only 5 Points behind third place and with a win they can close the gap to 2 Points while Leipzig has already 9 Points to third place but with a win they can get closer and hope for a good run in the next weeks.

After two defeats to begin of 2015 Eintracht Braunschweig hopes for better times now. They want to get back on winning way and but some pressure on the teams above who has failed this weekend. Compared to the last match in Bochum Coach Lieberknecht has to make some changes because of suspensions and injuries. In defense he has to replace suspended Correia, for him Decarli is the next who takes this position. In offensive he has to replace Nielsen and Kruppke what is not the best for Braunschweig. Maybe new signing Berggreen gives his debut today, beside him is a quick player expected like Hochscheidt or Ryu. But overall these are not the only changes because behind a lot of players are still question marks. Boland, Zuck and Omladic face late tests today but if they are not able to play the alternatives are Pfitzner, Vrancic and Khelifi.

The team with the biggest budget are doing hard 2015 and they were not able to win one. They are on a huge downtrend although they fired Coach Zorniger, and give Beierlorzer the chance as head coach. He had no luck in first game under him and they lost too FSV too. This time he has the whole week to prepare for the match in Braunschweig but overall Sportmanager Rangnick does not talk from promotion anymore. This is not the goal they want to reach this season according to the last trend. Compared to last match are not many changes expected, only central midfield player Khedira must be replaced and he did not travel with the team anyway. The first replacement on this position is Demme, normally Kaiser is the key player here but he has some problems in the past and asked for a break. He is in squad again but only on bench today. On the offense lies the focus and he wants to play again with 3 attackers (Poulsen, Forsberg and Rebic).
