Eintracht Braunschweig form and stats

6 victories, 4 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Eintracht Braunschweig have to build on here at Eintracht-Stadion in the 2. Bundesliga. Eintracht Braunschweig have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Braunschweig haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 204 minutes ago. M. Kobylanski scored that one.

Braunschweig are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Greuther Furth. Before that, Braunschweig drew at home versus Paderborn.

The game against Greuther Furth was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality. Jasmin Fejzić had a busy but productive day in the Greuther Furth match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Braunschweig have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost three.

The Braunschweig fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 15 matches. Braunschweig's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 19 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Erzgebirge Aue form and stats

There's been little loot from Erzgebirge Aue's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 14 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Erzgebirge Aue only have 3 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 3 draws.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 2. Bundesliga home defeat versus Nurnberg with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A loss against St. Pauli was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Erzgebirge goalkeeper Martin Männel had a great day against Nurnberg, but despite making six saves the loss could not be avoided.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Erzgebirge Aue playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were five Erzgebirge wins, two draws and three defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Erzgebirge now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 2. Bundesliga game at Karlsruher SC is waiting in only three days.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Erzgebirge's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Erzgebirge Aue - Braunschweig 3-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - five - one (Braunschweig wins - draws - Erzgebirge Aue wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
