Eintracht Braunschweig take on the visitors Wolfsburg in the second-leg match of Play Offs for participation in the Bundesliga next season. The game will be played in Braunschweig on Monday, May 29th. The first-leg clash ended with 1:0 scoreline in favour of “Die Wolfe”.
Eintracht Braunschweig went through the great season in the 2. Bundesliga: the team even has been leading in the 2. Bundesliga during the season, however, at the end of the competition it occupied the third position in the standings with 66 points earned and 50-36 goal difference. In the first-leg match of the Play Offs Eintracht played on equal with Wolfsburg on the road and “Die Lowen” conceded the single goal from the controversial penalty. As a result, they keep good chances for promotion to the Bundesliga, especially taking into consideration the side’s powerful performance in front of its supporters: in 2017 Eintracht recorded five triumphs, two draws and one defeat in eight encounters.

Judging from their squad, Wolfsburg should be among the strongest teams of German, however, “Die Wolfe” can’t find their football in this season being under the threat of relegation to 2. Bundesliga. Concerning the main part of the season, Andries Jonker’s side finished at the 16th place in the Bundesliga table with 37 points gained and 34-52 goal difference. It should be noted that Wolfsburg also showed weak performance in the first game against Eintracht Braunschweig at their own turf. In 2017 “Die Wolfe” participated in 10 matches on the road resulting in just two victories, two draws and six losses.
In the forthcoming battle the hosts need only triumph and they will do their best to get it. Still the visiting side which has higher football level will also sick for the favourable outcome of the clash. I believe that Torsten Lieberknecht’s team at least will not be beaten in the matchup.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Braunschweig to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
