Braunschweig take on the visitors Sandhausen in the round 31 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, April 7th at Eintracht-Stadion (Braunschweig).
Eintracht Braunschweig have 32 points to their name and currently sits in 14th position in the standings of the German 2. Bundesliga. The team, coached by Michael Schiele, is only three points clear of the relegation playoff zone. After a sensational away victory against St. Pauli (1-2) in the 28th round, it seemed that the "Lions" would continue their positive run. Unfortunately, things turned out differently. In the penultimate round, Eintracht suffered a 1-2 defeat at home against Magdeburg, and in the past weekend, they suffered a crushing 1-5 defeat away to Paderborn. Ahead for Eintracht Braunschweig, apart from the match against Sandhausen, are also matches against Greuther Fürth and direct rivals Regensburg and Hansa Rostock in the battle for survival. In the current season, playing in front of their home fans, the "Lions" have secured six victories, three draws, and suffered six defeats. The team has scored 20 goals while conceding 19.

Sandhausen, after 30 rounds, have 28 points and shares the last position in the 2. Bundesliga table with Regensburg, only separated by goal difference. Despite their position, it is worth noting the obvious progress made by Gerhard Kleppinger's team in recent matches. Sandhausen has achieved victories against Magdeburg (1-2) and Regensburg (2-1) in the last three rounds, as well as a draw against Paderborn (2-2). Undoubtedly, these successes bring a certain level of optimism to the hearts of the club's supporters. However, when it comes to away matches, in fifteen games outside their city, Sandhausen has only managed three victories, three draws, and suffered nine defeats. During this period, they scored 16 goals while conceding 27.
I completely disagree with the odds set for this match. Eintracht Braunschweig is the clear favorite in this confrontation, as if it were a match between a favorite and an underdog, rather than two equally matched teams in terms of class and capabilities. Braunschweig has the advantage of playing at home, but Sandhausen is currently in better form. Furthermore, in their last five head-to-head meetings, four have ended in draws, with Braunschweig securing a minimal victory only once. In general, in the current season, Eintracht Braunschweig has only achieved two home victories with a two-goal margin. Therefore, I believe that the guests have a much higher chance of achieving a positive result than reflected in the bookmaker's odds. Thus, I suggest betting on a handicap for the away team. My prediction: Sandhausen +1.
Prediction for the match: Sandhausen to win with +1.0 handicap.
