Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Eintracht Braunschweig will look to put an end to their three-game winless run in 2. Bundesliga when they take on HSV on Matchday 12. Die Lowen are stuck in the relegation zone, but a win over Hamburg could see them escape bottom three. Niklas Tauer, Robert Ivanov, Marvin Rittmuller, Sidi Sane, and Tino Casali are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, aim to climb to the promotion places and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Ludovit Reis and Robert Glatzel are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. As Glatzel is going to be sorely missed in Friday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. In their last meeting at the venue Hamburg rolled over Braunschweig 3-0.
