The Eintracht-Stadion (Braunschweig) plays host to a crucial fixture on Tuesday evening as Eintracht Braunschweig vs Saarbrucken battle it out in Bundesliga II playoff.
Eintracht Braunschweig vs Saarbrucken Betting Tips - Over 2.5 Goals
Eintracht Braunschweig return to the Eintracht-Stadion with plenty of reason to be confident after a potentially decisive 2:0 first-leg victory last week. Goals from Lino Tempelmann and Marvin Rittmüller sees the hosts in command ahead of Tuesday's return in Braunschweig.
With little to lose, and everything to gain, Saarbrucken will need to get on the front foot as they look to chase down a two-goal deficit, and that should lead to an open contest with chances at both ends.
A high-scoring outcome does seem likely when we consider both teams recent statistics, especially in respective home and away fixtures.
Eintracht have seen over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five home matches, including a 4:1 reversal against Nurnberg a week ago. Twenty-two goals were scored in those five fixtures - that's an average of over four goals per game.
Saarbrucken come into Tuesday´s contest having also seen plenty of high-scoring outcomes, both in home and away fixtures. Six of their last seven games saw over 2.5 goals scored, while six of their previous eight road games delivered the same result. Twenty-nine goals were scored in their last seven games, an average of over four goals per game.
Given the visitors need to recover the deficit, and the high-scoring nature of both teams' recent fixtures, I'm putting my money on over 2.5 goals scored at Eintracht-Stadion.
