Eintracht Braunschweig form and stats

Last season their DFB Pokal adventure ended in the 1st round.

Overall 3. Liga stats at home this season for Eintracht Braunschweig are 10-5-4 (wins-draw-losses). There’s a good atmosphere here at Eintracht-Stadion after three straight home wins.

No payout for Braunschweig in their previous match, an away game at Meppen that ended in defeat 3-4. A 3. Liga defeat was the result before that one, 3-4 away at Meppen.

As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? The penalty miss from M. Pourié in the defeat against Meppen was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Braunschweig have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Eintracht-Stadion with 35 goals in 19 league matches. Braunschweig's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 26 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Hertha BSC form and stats

Hertha's mission in DFB Pokal last season failed in the 3rd round.

5 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses. That’s the product of Hertha BSC playing as the away team in the Bundesliga this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Hertha BSC's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Two away games in a row for Hertha BSC, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Borussia M'gladbach in the Bundesliga. It was a Bundesliga defeat before that one as the away game against Borussia M'gladbach wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

It's a bit worrying for Hertha that their goalkeeper Dennis Smarsch made six saves in the Borussia M'gladbach game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

Hertha are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 25 away goals from 17 games (in the league). Hertha BSC struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 27 goals conceded from these games.

Head 2 Head

Eintracht Braunschweig-Hertha BSC H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: Eintracht Braunschweig zero wins, Hertha BSC five wins, one draw. three of these six matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
