TSV Eintracht Braunschweig vs FC Nurnberg Best odds and tips

TSV Eintracht Braunschweig are currently 16th in the 2. Bundesliga 2024-2025 standings with 35 points from 33 matches, just enough to keep them in the drop. The hosts have been in decent form of late with 2 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat from their last 5 matches, which has been a crucial run of results in their bid to avoid the drop. Daniel Scherning has been in charge of Braunschweig since November 2023 and has seemingly instilled a certain resilience in his players that has helped them grind out results in their battle for survival. Rayan Philippe has been their talisman this season with 13 league goals, including 3 in the past 5 matches, so he will be a key player to watch on Sunday if the hosts are to break their winless run in this fixture.

Nürnberg have had a disappointing run of late, losing their last 2 games and picking up just 1 win in their last 5 games. The visitors have been in decent form away from home recently, picking up 1 win and 1 draw from their last 2 away games, but their overall away record is patchy with 5 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from 16 games. Miroslav Klose took charge of Nürnberg and his tactical acumen is yet to be seen in full swing, but the signs are there that this is a more structured and disciplined team than the one that preceded his arrival. FCN are a patient, possession-based side that likes to play short passes and build from the back, sitting in a compact, deep block and not pressing the ball too high up the pitch to control the tempo of the game. Mahir Emreli has been in good form of late for Nürnberg, scoring 4 of their last 9 goals, while Julian Justvan has provided 3 assists in the last 5 games, providing a creative spark in the middle of the park.

Nürnberg have had the better of Braunschweig in recent years, with the most recent head-to-head ending in a 1-0 win for Nürnberg 4 months ago. Braunschweig have a decent home record this season, but Nürnberg have dominated this fixture in recent years and the visitors are currently 10th in the table with 45 points from 33 games. There is no real rivalry between these sides and no real significance to this fixture in the league, but Nürnberg are the slight favourites to win and that looks about right given the hosts are fighting for their lives in the league and the visitors have been in poor form. Both teams to score looks a lively bet here, as both sides concede more than a goal a game and have prolific forwards that can score on their day. Nürnberg are a patient side and that may not suit Braunschweig, who will want to get on the front foot and take advantage of home advantage to end their winless run in this fixture.
