Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Osnabruck, Eintracht Braunschweig will be aiming to escape the danger zone when they take on Hamburger SV on Matchday 31. Die Lowen are only three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Saturday’s football game is of big importance for the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Die Rothosen, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the playoffs berth.
As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in the round 31 clash, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, but midfielder Laszlo Benes remains in the recovery room. It has to be noted that HSV defeated Eintracht Braunschweig 2-1 when the two teams met at Volkparkstadion earlier this season.
