On the upcoming Thursday, a playoff match for a place in Bundesliga will be held between Wolfsburg and Eintracht from Braunschweig, the sixteenth team of the German elite league will play with the third team of the second best league in Germany. In this couple, a clear advantage have the future hosts, the Wolves, and it is hard to disagree with that, but Eintracht, which played in elite not that long ago, should not be underestimated as well.
Wolfsburg have had a very weak season. Everyone expected a fight for the Eurocup zone from the team, but as a result, the Wolves may have been relegated directly to second Bundesliga. Within the last eight matches Wolfsburg lost five times with two victories and one draw. The only split of points happened with Borussia from the city of Monchengladbach. The victories are over Ingolstadt and Eintracht Frankfurt. All in all at their home ground within Bundesliga, the Wolves have had 17 matches in the season: they have five victories with three draws and nine defeats.
Eintracht from Braunschweig, in their turn, have occupied the third position in the second Bundesliga, although they may have taken the second place, which guarantees its owner direct advancement to the elite. Eintracht lost to Hannover only one point, they shouldn’t have lost to Arminia in the second-to-last round. Eintracht didn’t play their best game: six wins with six draws and five defeats, fifteen goals scored and nineteen conceded.
During the whole season Wolfsburg have been experiencing problems with attack and scored goals, while Eintracht from Braunschweig have decent defense and generally aren’t a very upper football team in away matches.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals in the match.
