The home team's chances are minimal! Eintracht Braunschweig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Eintracht Braunschweig
One of the final matches in the first round of the DFB-Pokal will be played on Monday in Braunschweig, where the local Eintracht will face Eintracht Frankfurt. Here's the match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Eintracht Braunschweig
The Lions were dangerously close to relegation from the 2. Bundesliga last season. They finished 15th with 38 points, just six points clear of Wehen in the relegation zone. Braunschweig was fortunate that Wehen collapsed towards the end of the season, losing four consecutive matches, which allowed Braunschweig to escape relegation.
In preparation for the new season, Daniel Scherning's team played ten friendly matches and performed well, losing only once to Winterthur while defeating Panathinaikos (1-0), Hansa Rostock (2-1), Energie Cottbus (3-2), and Osnabrück (5-1). However, these friendlies only served to highlight the difference between unofficial and official matches. In their opening two league fixtures, Braunschweig suffered heavy defeats, losing 1-5 to Schalke away and 1-3 to Magdeburg at home.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The Eagles fought for a Champions League spot last season but quickly lost steam, eventually finishing sixth. They were 15 points behind the fifth-place team, which would have granted them a place in Europe’s top competition. Additionally, Frankfurt failed to win any of their last four league matches.
In preparation for the new Bundesliga campaign, Dino Toppmöller’s team played five friendly matches, winning four and losing only one. They secured victories against Alba (11-0), Juárez (2-1), Louisville City (4-0), and Frankfurt's local rivals (5-2). However, when faced with a stronger opponent like Valencia, they were defeated 2-3.
