Eintracht Braunschweig and Hertha Berlin meet at Eintracht Stadion
Friday evening at Eintracht Stadion, Eintracht Braunschweig and Hertha Berlin clash for matchday 3 of the 2. Bundesliga. Both sides arrive looking to establish early momentum in a campaign that remains in its infancy.
For the hosts, the expected XI features Ron-Thorben Hoffmann in goal, protected by a back four of Mehmet Aydin, Kevin Ehlers, Andi Hoti, and Fabio Di Michele. The midfield engine room is expected to be anchored by Florian Flick, Samuele Di Benedetto, and Max Marie, with Aaron Opoku and Yann Sturm providing support for Jan Urbich up top.
Hertha Berlin head into the encounter with a notable absence, as Deyovaisio Zeefuik is suspended. The visitors are expected to line up with Marius Gersbeck between the sticks, supported by a defensive unit of Julian Eitschberger, Linus Gechter, Niklas Kolbe, and Marton Dardai. Kevin Sessa, Paul Seguin, Oluwaseun Adewumi, and Soufian Gouram are expected to control the midfield, with Josip Brekalo and Sebastian Groenning tasked with leading the attack.
Braunschweig experienced a challenging start to their competitive schedule, including a recent 4-2 defeat to Union Berlin in the DFB Pokal. While their league form has been inconsistent, they demonstrated their potential with a commanding 6-1 victory against Magdeburg earlier this month. The home side will look to rely on the creativity of Max Marie, who has been a consistent presence in their attacking play throughout their recent run of matches.
Hertha Berlin arrive in good spirits following a strong start to the league season, which includes a 4-1 win over FC Heidenheim and a narrow 1-0 victory against Bochum. Their recent DFB Pokal outing against Saarbruecken ended in a 1-1 draw, highlighting a need for continued concentration. A key area for improvement will be their late-game defensive discipline, as the team has conceded five goals after the 75th minute in their last 10 appearances.
History between these two clubs in the 2. Bundesliga has often been tight, with their most recent encounter on 19 April 2026 ending in a 1-1 draw. Previous meetings have seen varying results, including a 5-1 victory for Hertha Berlin in March 2025 and a 1-0 win for the Berlin side later that year. These past matches suggest that while the visitors have enjoyed success in the fixture, Braunschweig remains capable of holding their own on home soil.
Friday’s match will likely hinge on how effectively Braunschweig can disrupt Hertha's rhythm in the middle of the park. With both teams expected to field balanced midfields, the ability to control possession and transition quickly will be vital. If Hertha can maintain their defensive structure through the final whistle, they will be well-positioned to secure a result, but Braunschweig will be eager to exploit any lapses in concentration from their opponents.
