Braunschweig vs Greuther Furth Prediction
Braunschweig vs Greuther Furth Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 2 of the 2. Bundesliga, set for Saturday, August 9. The clash kicks off at the Eintracht-Stadion, where the home side will look to carry momentum from their gritty opening-day win. In this article, you’ll find our expert insights and 2. Bundesliga Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Both Braunschweig and Fürth opened the season with a win
- Fürth has lost just once in their last nine meetings with Braunschweig
- Noel Futkeu scored twice on Matchday 1 – one to watch again
- Braunschweig pulled off a gutsy win despite going down to 10 men
Eintracht Braunschweig opened their campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Magdeburg. Not bad, considering they played a man down for over half an hour after Kevin Ehlers saw red. Mehmet Aydin, on debut, broke his personal goal drought in style, his first in 41 appearances. It was their first Matchday 1 win since 2016, and they’ll be hoping that ends a curse of poor season starts. Still, they allowed 19 shots, second-most in the league. The defense held up, but can they repeat that feat against a more dangerous attack?
The challenge? Fürth. The visitors have been a thorn in Braunschweig’s side for years. Just one loss in their last nine head-to-heads, and even that came last season. Historically, the “Kleeblatt” seems to have Eintracht’s number. But Braunschweig’s last home win against them was a convincing 2-0. Now, with a fired-up crowd behind them, they might just believe it’s time to turn the tide. That said, missing Ehlers could be costly, their back line isn’t the deepest.
Greuther Fürth started their season with a thrilling 3-2 win over Dynamo Dresden. Noel Futkeu stole the show with two goals, including the fastest in Fürth history, just 19 seconds in. That makes four goals in his last five 2. Bundesliga appearances. Under Thomas Kleine, Fürth looks structured, aggressive, and mentally sharp. He’s still unbeaten in charge, two wins and a draw, and seems to be bringing stability the club sorely needed. Can he really turn things around this quickly?
Still, Fürth’s defense raised eyebrows. They conceded 21 shots, the most in the league on Matchday 1. That makes this fixture one to watch, two vulnerable defenses, two confident attacks. It could go either way. One thing’s for sure: the history, the form, and the pressure make this a perfect storm. Our 2. Bundesliga Predictions suggest it won’t be short on drama.
Both teams started the season with wide-open matches, which makes Over 2.5 Goals a smart shout. Greuther Fürth’s 3-2 win over Dresden was pure chaos, five goals, end-to-end stuff, and a clinical Noel Futkeu. Braunschweig might’ve only won 1-0 in Magdeburg, but let’s not forget they played over 35 minutes with ten men. Still, they allowed 19 shots, the second most in the league. Fürth conceded 21, the most. Defensively, both sides looked shaky, while their attacks created real danger. Historically, 2 of the last 5 head-to-heads have gone over 3.5 goals, and with early-season freshness and risk-taking, this could go that route again. Add in Fürth’s sharp offense under Thomas Kleine and Braunschweig missing key defender Ehlers, and the ingredients are there for goals. Don’t be surprised if this turns into a back-and-forth game with both sides hitting the net more than once.
