Elversberg take on the visitors Braunschweig in the round 10 match of German 2.Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, October 20th at Waldstadion Kaiserlinde (Spiesen-Elversberg)
Elversberg are a debutant in the Second Bundesliga, and it's evident that their primary goal is to secure a spot for the next season. The Black and Whites didn't have a great start to the championship, with only one draw against Hannover (2:2) in their first four matches. They suffered three losses against Hansa Rostock, Kaiserslautern, and Fortuna, with a combined score of (2:9). Nevertheless, the team under Horst Steffen has adapted to the new circumstances and is currently on a five-match unbeaten streak. During this period, Elversberg defeated Hamburg (2:1), overcame Osnabrück (1:0) and Wehen (2:0), and also shared points with Großter Fürth and Holstein Kiel (both 1:1). Elversberg's home record includes one win, one draw, and two losses, with a goal difference of (4:9).

Eintracht Braunschweig are the last team in the Second Bundesliga with only five points. While the gap from the 15th spot, which ensures safety, is just four points, it seems challenging for the Lions to secure their position in the second German division for the next season. In their last five matches, Eintracht have suffered losses to Paderborn (1:3), Hansa Rostock (0:1), Hertha BSC (0:3), and managed to draw with St. Pauli (1:1) and Nuremberg (2:2). Eintracht's away statistics are quite poor as they lost four out of four away matches. In these matches, the team only managed to score one goal.
In reality, Elversberg are considered the favorite in this upcoming match and is expected to win against such an opponent. However, the odds for their victory seem to be slightly underestimated in my view. Therefore, I suggest considering an option with lower scoring in this matchup. It's commonly believed that Elversberg are an ultra-attacking team, and their matches are high-scoring by definition. While this might have been the case in the previous season, in the current championship, the Black and Whites have been forced to play differently. In their last five matches, Elversberg scored only seven goals and conceded three. In total, they have scored 12 goals in nine matches. Both matches against direct competitors (Osnabrück and Wehen) were won by Elversberg with a clean sheet (1:0 and 2:0). As for Eintracht, they have the weakest attacking line at the moment, having scored only six goals. However, their defense is not the worst, having conceded 15 goals. Interestingly, Elversberg's defense has made the same number of mistakes. Therefore, there are no clear prospects for a goal fest in the match between these opponents. Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
