Eintracht Braunschweig vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions

Can Eintracht Frankfurt’s Firepower Overcome Braunschweig’s Resilience in the DFB-Pokal?

• Omar Marmoush was Frankfurt’s top scorer last season with 12 Bundesliga goals.

Best Bet

The DFB-Pokal presents a classic David vs. Goliath clash as Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt travel to face Eintracht Braunschweig at the Eintracht-Stadion. The home team are enduring a rough start to their season in the 2. Bundesliga, sitting at the bottom of the table after two heavy defeats. Meanwhile, Frankfurt are keen to make a statement in their opening competitive fixture of the 2024/25 season, especially as they aim to improve upon last year’s sixth-place Bundesliga finish.

For this matchup, backing Eintracht Frankfurt to win with both teams finding the net appears to be a sound bet. Eintracht Braunschweig, despite their poor form, have demonstrated that they are capable of creating scoring opportunities. The hosts have averaged seven shots on target per match in their first two league games, which is the second-highest in the 2. Bundesliga. However, their defensive frailties have been glaring, conceding a staggering eight goals across these two matches. This imbalance suggests that while they may score, they are highly vulnerable at the back.

Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, are a far more balanced side, with solid defensive capabilities and a potent attack. Last season, they scored 51 goals in the Bundesliga, making them one of the more reliable offensive teams in the league. With the likes of Omar Marmoush leading their attack, they are well-equipped to exploit Braunschweig’s defensive issues. Furthermore, Frankfurt’s pre-season form has been impressive, with four wins out of five matches, indicating that they are in good shape heading into this fixture.

However, it’s worth noting that Frankfurt’s defensive record in the Bundesliga last season was not impregnable, as they conceded 50 goals over the campaign. This suggests that while they should dominate this match, there’s a reasonable chance that Braunschweig could snatch a goal, especially given Frankfurt’s tendency to sometimes let their guard down against lesser opposition.

The combination of Frankfurt’s attacking prowess and Braunschweig’s leaky defence, coupled with the home side’s capability to find the back of the net despite their struggles, makes the prediction of a Frankfurt win with both teams scoring a strong one.

Additional Prediction

Another prediction that stands out is backing Omar Marmoush to score at any point during the match. The Egyptian forward was Frankfurt’s top scorer last season, finding the net 12 times in the Bundesliga. Marmoush is known for his pace and finishing ability, which makes him a constant threat, especially against lower-tier opposition like Braunschweig.

Given the vulnerability in Braunschweig’s defence, which has already conceded eight goals in just two league matches, Marmoush will likely have several opportunities to add to his tally. His ability to exploit defensive lapses, coupled with the creativity from midfielders like Mario Götze, makes it highly probable that Marmoush will find himself on the scoresheet. Considering Frankfurt’s expected dominance in possession and the number of chances they are likely to create, Marmoush to score anytime is a strong secondary bet.
