- Team form: TSV Eintracht Braunschweig have failed to win their last two home games against Hertha BSC Berlin
- Recent form: Hertha BSC Berlin have won three of their last five matches, scoring nine goals in that time
- Home form: The 16th-placed hosts are unbeaten in two at home, drawing with Nuernberg and beating their previous opponent.
Hertha BSC Berlin look back in business
Recent meetings and form
Hertha BSC Berlin have been the better side in their three meetings with TSV Eintracht Braunschweig over the past four months, including a 1-0 2. Bundesliga home win four months ago. Stefan Leitl’s side sit sixth in the 2. Bundesliga with 47 points from 29 games and they have looked a much improved outfit since Leitl took charge in February 2025.
Tactical contrasts
The Berlin-based side have been more tactically adaptable with Leitl at the helm, and like to play a structured game with plenty of possession. They are not afraid to adapt and can also control the pace by dominating the spaces in the midfield and the area around the box.
The hosts play with a much more urgent and intense approach than their visitors, pressing the ball hard and looking to counter-attack at speed. Lars Kornetka has not had much time to improve Braunschweig’s poor 16th-placed standing since taking over in March 2026, but his men are unbeaten in their last two at home.
Berlin’s greater all-round quality and away form should show
Hertha BSC Berlin have won eight of their away league games this season, scoring at a rate of 2.07 goals per away game and conceding only 1.29 per game. They will probably have too much firepower and away quality for Braunschweig to deal with on Sunday, especially as the hosts have won only one, drawn two and lost two of their last five.
There is a clash of styles here with the home side’s fast transitions likely to meet the visitors’ more patient build-up and we should see a fairly open game with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals likely, given the stats and recent record of these teams. The 2.15 odds for an away win look good here given Hertha have won all three of their recent away fixtures, most recently a 5-2 thumping of Fortuna Duesseldorf, while the 1.62 price on Over 2.5 goals is not too bad either. Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.5 is the right pick.
Hertha’s strength in depth and scoring options give them the edge
Hertha attacking options
- Fabian Reese has scored nine 2. Bundesliga goals in 28 appearances for Hertha BSC Berlin, but has found a renewed scoring form in recent weeks with three goals in the last five.
- But Mehmet Aydin is the club’s main goal threat with five goals in 27 league outings and will be looking to add to that against Hertha on Sunday.
Braunschweig threat
- Robin Heusser has also found some end-of-season form for Braunschweig, scoring two of their last four goals in the past five matches, so he is a good pick on the anytime scorer bet.
