Eintracht Braunschweig vs Hamburg Predictions

• Braunschweig were promoted from 3.Liga and are expected to be embroiled in a relegation scrap.
• Hamburg scored at least twice in their last three visits to Braunschweig.
• Hamburg missed out on promotion in the play-off final last season.

A 2.Bundesliga David vs Goliath encounter

Braunschweig couldn’t have possibly been given a harder opponent on their opening day clash following promotion as they welcome last season’s play-off final losers Hamburg. The hosts have not recruited heavily over the summer and that may be cause for concern for a side that look likely to be fighting the drop.

On the other hand, Hamburg have their eyes set on the automatic promotion places after missing out by just three points and falling at the final hurdle last term. They did finish the last campaign with three straight away wins and were formidable on their travels across the campaign (W7, D6, L4).

Stick with the visitors

Hamburg’s last three away league victories – excluding the play-off game – saw them score at least three goals and we expect a similarly dominant showing in this season opener.

Only two sides scored more away league goals than Hamburg last term and they can send a message to the rest of the division here with another high-scoring win with over 2.5 match goals. As for the correct score, we fancy Hamburg to cruise to a 4-1 win at small stakes.
