Eintracht Braunschweig vs Hertha Berlin Predictions

• Braunschweig have lost both of their games to begin the 2022/23 campaign.
• Hertha Berlin scored 2+ goals in each of the last five H2H encounters.
• Hertha scored 2+ goals in nine of their last ten DFB Pokal matches.

An unwelcome distraction for Braunschweig

After having something of a sharp reality check since their promotion to the second-tier, Braunschweig must face Bundesliga opponents Hertha Berlin in this cup encounter. With no points on the board in the league, matters of survival are more likely to be at the forefront of the host’s minds.

While Braunschweig managed to eliminate Hertha from this competition back in 2020 (5-4), it is difficult to see them putting five goals past anyone at the moment given that they are yet to score a league goal after two games, both of which come against lesser opponents than Hertha.

Hertha can turn up the heat

Hertha Berlin narrowly avoided relegation from the top-flight this season and with this game coming before their curtain raiser, a positive start to build confidence would not go amiss.

Often prolific in this competition, Hertha scored at least twice in nine of their last ten DFB Pokal clashes while seven of the last eight in that sequence also produced over 2.5 goals. Moreover, the visitors netted at least twice in each of their last five competitive H2Hs!

We’re sticking with Hertha to justify their favouritism with a win, while a smaller stake selection is going the way of a 2-1 correct score.
