Chief referee of the match Wolfsburg Eintracht. Wolfsburg – Braunschweig: preview
May 25 at 21:30 will be a match for the right to play in the Bundesliga. Preview and betting on Wolfsburg vs Eintracht Braunschweig. The hosts look head and shoulders stronger, but they won't be able to keep the gates shut.
Justification of the forecast
The Wolves lost in the last matchday in Hamburg, when the Dinosaurs once again secured their place in the elite division next season, confirming their moniker, and remained the only team to never be relegated from the Bundesliga. It can be said that Wolfsburg were unlucky with an opponent at the end of the season, but in fact, Hamburg was an ideal opponent, since in many years they had never been able to defeat the "cubs" on the home field until that day. The unexpected defeat of Wolfsburg in that match speaks of serious problems for the hosts. There is no doubt that today's rivals are significantly inferior in strength to the home side, as they have no stars in their roster, while Wolfsburg has such world-famous players as Gomez, Błaszczykowski, Didavi, Gerhardt and Bruma. However, today these high-class players are not a guarantee of success. Wolfsburg has been playing well on the road this season, but at the same time, it looks terrible at its stadium and this can become a problem! The fact is that Eintracht plays well on the road and therefore the hosts will definitely have difficulties today. But the “wolves” should not hope for success in Braunschweig, because Eintracht is simply invincible at home, this season its indicators are +13=3-1! But one more question remains - is Wolfsburg really playing at home today and all 30,000 fans at the Volkswagen Stadium will support him? It is unlikely, because this is a Saxon derby, and between the cities of the teams there are only 36 kilometers! The Lions will surely bring a whole army of fans with them and will also receive the support of the stands!
Final prediction for the match
To achieve the desired result after two meetings, Braunschweig must bet on the home match, there is no doubt about it. So today there is only one task - to get an acceptable and convenient result before the return match. It is unlikely that the Lions are seriously planning to win today, most likely their main priority will be to score a goal. Even defeat, but with a goal scored, will leave them chances for ultimate success, so the guests should play attacking football. In the end, the owners are not so strong to be afraid of them.

"Eintracht" - "Wolfsburg": betting odds
In a tense atmosphere, the neighbors will have to find out who is more worthy to represent the region in the top division. The first match warmed up the already hot air around the confrontation, and the degree does not subside. It's all the fault of the very controversial penalty scored by Gomez. The main referee of the fight, Sascha Stegemann, has already repented in an interview with Sky: "Now that I've watched the replays, I have to say that it would be better to do without the whistle".
The Braunschweigers were dissatisfied with the work of the referee, wet boots and a cold reception, but, first of all, they should look in the mirror. There are two things that the Eintracht coach chose not to notice. Firstly, Jan Hochscheidt could have been rightly sent off for an elbow strike by Didavi, and secondly, the guests had, perhaps, only two chances to score: Boland missed the target from a few meters in the first half, and Reichel was already in stoppage time for the match time punched out! Too little to count on success.
Nevertheless, Lieberknecht does not lose optimism, relying on the factor of his field - at home, the "blue-yellows" scored in every game this season and allowed only one defeat. "Lions" promise to show their teeth! However, the "wolves" have fangs. "I expect the atmosphere of a real derby, - said Andris Jonker, who remained dissatisfied with the minimal victory. - Anyway, we really fought, and it makes me happy".
And the statistics speak in favor of Wolfsburg. "Wolves" with a suitable score completed two previous tours in Braunschweig. In 1993, in the second division, Reich's penalty goal brought the guests a 1-0 victory, in 2014 the match in the Bundesliga ended 1-1. Both the first and the second result will suit Wolfsburg completely.
In addition, Braunschweig needs to accomplish almost a feat if we look at the statistics of playoff matches. In 13 out of 18 fights, the winner of the first match also won the second. Only twice the loser managed to get out after the starting fiasco, the last time an exceptional case occurred 29 years ago: “Waldhof” after a 2:3 defeat in Darmstadt bounced back at home (2:1) and won on penalties.
"Eintracht" - "Wolfsburg": indicative lineups
As a result of the first match, both teams had new losses. Eintracht Frankfurt will have to do without Kumbela and Biad (both suffering from muscle problems). In the absence of Kumbela, Nieman's attacking partner could be Hernandez.
Jonker again missed Ntepa - the Frenchman was replaced in the first match due to a muscle injury. Vieirinha is the first candidate to replace the Frenchman. Joshua Gilavoghi at the same time should be ready to play.
"Eintracht" - "Wolfsburg": the forecast of the author
I don't think that the "wolves" will give up a place in the elite after a home win, although they can concede - nevertheless, on their field, the "lions" are very aggressive. Wolfsburg not losing and both will score - that's my prediction.

In the final match for the right to spend next season in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg and Eintracht from Braunschweig will meet. The game will take place on May 25, 2017 at 21:30 Moscow time. Bet and prediction for Wolfsburg vs Eintracht B. available to readers of the Sportixbet portal.
FC Wolfsburg
Wolves had a very poor season, leading them to 16th place in the Bundesliga. One victory over Eintracht Frankfurt (0:2) in the last five meetings could not help the Jonker team to secure themselves from the relegation zone. They also lost to Hertha (1:0), Bavaria (0:6), Hamburg (2:1) and tied with Borussia Mönchengladbach (1:1).
FC Eintracht B.
Eintracht spent their season very well, finishing third in the second Bundesliga. Above them were only Hannover and Stuttgart, ahead of the yellow-blue by 1 and 3 points, respectively. Eintracht played its last 5 meetings almost stably, beating Bochum (2:0), Munich 1860 (0:1), Union Berlin (3:1), Karlsruhe (2:1), but devastatingly lost to Arminia (6:0), who needed points to avoid relegation to the third division.
Forecast
Eintracht have lost only 6 matches out of 34 for the entire season, which is a very good indicator. Yes, the opponents of the yellow-blues were not as strong as those of Wolfsburg, but the Wolves simply failed the season, relying on the strong individual qualities of the players. In survival games, when registration is at stake, in most cases it is the team that wins, which Wolfsburg does not have this season. Eintracht B. proved that he could defend well and work on the counterattack, which Wolfsburg allowed almost every team in the Bundesliga to do. That is why Eintracht B. is more likely not to lose big than the wolves have to beat them.
Prediction for the match Wolfsburg – Eintracht B.: handicap (+1.5) on Eintracht B.
May 28, 2017The return play-off match of the German championship for the right to play in the Bundesliga Eintracht Braunschweig - Wolfsburg will take place on Monday, May 29 at 21:30 (Moscow time) at the Eintracht Stadium. Bookmakers in this game give preference to Wolfsburg, believing that he has more chances to win than the opponent. At the same time, after the first match, Andris Jonker's wards will also be satisfied with a draw - they beat Eintracht at home with a minimum score of 1:0 thanks to another goal from Mario Gomez, who converted a penalty.
Wolfsburg just two years ago became second in the German championship, got into the Champions League, where they reached the quarter-finals, and now they are on the verge of relegation to the second division. However, the first match showed that the team is objectively stronger than Eintracht and should achieve a positive result in the second leg. This season, Wolfsburg sacked Dieter Hecking, who then headed Borussia Gladbach and has been working very successfully with them so far. Andris Jonker replaced Hecking in the camp of the Wolves, and under him the team played a series of excellent matches, significantly improving their standings - three victories in a row were won. However, the end of the championship was a failure and since the beginning of April, Wolfsburg have won only two out of nine matches in the Bundesliga, having suffered five defeats. On the road, he plays unstable and often loses. So, in the previous nine matches on a foreign field, he was inferior in the score five times, and won only twice.
Eintracht was just a tiny bit short of being promoted directly to the top flight, one point behind Hannover and three points behind Stuttgart. Out of 11 recent matches in the second Bundesliga, he managed to win eight with only two defeats. And on his field, he won five fights in a row with a total score of 11:4. By the way, for the entire season, out of 17 home championship matches, he lost only one - St. Pauli with a score of 1: 2 in early February, and in the rest of the meetings he won 13 victories and drew three times. In addition, Eintracht scored in each of the 17 matches, and in 11 cases he managed to hit the target at least twice. With such statistics, the site's experts believe that it can beat Wolfsburg as well.
Betting odds for the match Eintracht Braunschweig - Wolfsburg:

the site presents its reflections on the first transfer match of the German championship of the 2016/17 season.
The hottest time has come in the German championship - the play-offs for the right to play in the Bundesliga. On one side is Wolfsburg, for whom a relegation would be a real disgrace. On the other hand, Eintracht from Braunschweig. A team whose resources are not much stronger than Darmstadt and Ingolstadt, which were relegated to the second Bundesliga.
Tournament path
The fate of the former German Cup winner and Champions League quarter-finalist was decided in the last round of the championship. Before the final game day Andris Jonker's team was in rather hothouse conditions. “Wolves” suited a draw, but even a defeat with a certain outcome of parallel meetings could leave the team in the Bundesliga. But all this did not happen.
"Wolfsburg" went to play a direct joint on a visit to the "Hamburg". And the guys of Markus Gisdol were satisfied only with a victory, otherwise the “dinosaurs” would have a second entry into the delegation. Opponents in the first half exchanged goals. Almost until the very last minute of the second half of the meeting, two ones were on the scoreboard; they completely satisfied the "wolves". And in the 88th minute, Gian-Luca Walschmidt waved to Jonker and sent the Dutch coach and his team on an exciting journey through the play-offs.
"Eintracht", in turn, he could avoid transitional matches. With two rounds to go in the second Bundesliga, the Braunschweig club was in a very advantageous position. Firstly, he was quite a bit behind the two leaders – “Stuttgart” and “Hannover”. And here it must be clarified that in the 33rd round, the Swabians and the 96th played each other, so someone lost points. That is, in the event of their victory, "Eintracht" caught up with one of the teams. Secondly, Torsten Lieberknecht's guys had "Arminia" and "Karlsruhe" in their rivals - two clubs from the basement. What does “Karlsruhe” by that time said goodbye to all chances to stay in the second Bundesliga.
But things didn't turn out so rosy. “Eintracht” for the tour before the end of the championship away burnt “Arminius” with an indecent score of 6:0. Head coach opponent eventually became a YouTube star, his fiery pre-match setup is capable of starting a team for another season.
The final game day of the championship could no longer help Braunschweig. "Stuttgart" and "Hannover" took the top two places and returned to the Bundesliga, and "Eintracht" try their luck in two matches against the "Wolfsburg".
Team news
wolfsburg
This season has been very difficult for Wolfsburg. Two years ago, the team finished second in the championship and won the German Cup, a year ago, the "wolves" reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. What can boast of the current composition of the team? Profitable sale of Julian Draxler, but resuscitation of Mario Gomez. In fact, these are all small achievements in 10 months. What's on the other side? Three coaches in a season, the dismissal of Klaus Allofs, a lot of money spent on transfers, a failure in the last round, which led to transitional matches.
At the beginning of May, everything was quite calm. After a home defeat by Bayern, the team quickly recovered. Andris Jonker first won a guest match against another “Eintracht” from Frankfurt, and then tied the match with the former head coach of the “wolves” Dieter Hecking and his “Borussia” M. Even the final match of the championship was going well. Quick goal and a draw until the last minutes. Hold the team a little longer and on Sunday 21 May, every person from the club could have scored the last 10 months like a nightmare.
The fate of the team is in the balance. The defeat at the joints will turn into not just a shame, but a mass exodus of players from the club. Or do you think that Mario Gomez or the young Richadley Bazur came under the second Bundesliga?
Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Frankfurt have recently played in the Bundesliga. The team spent the season 13/14 at the highest level, but according to its results, they took the last place and returned back to the second Bundesliga. The "lions" didn't manage to get back up right away. For two seasons, the team finished closer to the middle of the table - 6th and 8th places, respectively. Only in the third year, Torsten Lieberknecht found a resource and was able to cling to the fight.
The head coach of "Eintracht" is the club's biggest trump card. Lieberknecht has been here since 2003. Until 2007, he played for the team, then he worked as a youth coach for one season, and from the 2008/09 season he is already responsible for main team. Together with her, Lieberknecht rose from the third league, then won a ticket to the Bundesliga. No one is going to kick him out for lack of results. So the hamstrings of the "lions" will not shake. They simply have nothing to lose.
Key players
Mario Gomez
wolfsburg
Here we will not be original and will again note Mario Gomez. Who else? The defense of Wolfsburg is mostly symbolic. Suffice it to say that in the pre-match arrangement of “Kikker” three nominal midfielders live there – Vieirinha, Luis Gustavo and Yannick Gerhard. In midfield kind word except perhaps Maximilian Arnold. That leaves Mario Gomez. And even then, the striker of the German national team began to score only with the arrival of Andris Jonker.
A week ago, we already cited these figures: since the beginning of March, SuperMario has scored 11 goals. Despite the fact that only once he scored a hat-trick. Everything else is one goal per match, that is, he scored almost all Bundesliga clubs. "Eintracht" from Braunschweig Gomez did not score. The season Breinschweig entered the Bundesliga, the striker left for Italy.
Dominique Kumbela
Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Frankfurt's main star is striker Dominik Kumbela. Together with the club, he has already gone through fire, water and copper pipes. The union of Brainschweig and Kumbela began in the third league. There, the striker, with the help of 19 goals, helped the team achieve promotion. Over the next two seasons, the striker scored 29 goals, thanks to which Eintracht has risen to a higher level. Actually high level the performance of the African has slightly decreased, but nine goals in the Bundesliga is a very worthy result.
Further path “lions” and Domi Kumbela diverged. Neither side found happiness. The striker did not score, and Braunschweig could not get in the fight for a ticket to the Bundesliga. In the winter of 2016, the prodigal son returned. It took half a year to grind, and already in the 2016/17 season, Kumbela knocked out his 13 goals, and his team managed to break into the play-offs.

Words before the match
“In the match against Hamburg, we lost for the fourth time, leading the match. In the current situation, we must calm down and prepare for Eintracht. Now it’s not enough just to play football well, the result comes first. We must win. The will to win and the team spirit come to the fore, it is worth noting that Braunschweig is doing well with this".Andris Jonker
Wolfsburg head coach
"The team had a very intense season, my players gave 100% in every game. We spent a lot of effort and energy, so the medical staff had to work at the beginning of the duel with Wolfsburg. Of course, we would be happy to climb to the first Bundesliga following the results last tour, so as not to wait another week.Nevertheless, we have another opportunity to enter the history of the club and write new chapter".Thorsten Lieberknecht
Braunschweig head coach
Forecast and rates
25.05.2017 20:30
The meeting between Wolfsburg and Eintracht, in addition to the status of fighting for the right to play in the Bundesliga in the 2017/18 season, will have one more nuance: Wolfsburg and Braunschweig are only 30 km from each other, that is, the meeting of the teams has the status of a Lower Saxony derby. Of course, it is impossible to compare it with the games between Eintracht and Hannover, but there will be some spice here.
Wolfsburg's line-up is much stronger by name. In fact, the team was assembled for the Champions League, as a fallback - for the Europa League, and nothing else. Even in winter, three good players- Malli, Ntep and Bazur - almost best game teams from the second half of the table and two young talents from Europe. And the main center forward of all scores ahead German football. Relegation with such a squad would be a big blow to the prestige of the club. It will take a very long time to wash off.
“Eintracht” does not have such players, the team does not even have such opportunities when signing newcomers. For example, the main scorer of the club is well over 30 years old. But the “lions” have the same character and core, which is almost gone from German football. Let it look primitive, but at the right time it will not go away. And nothing depends on the mood there.
Forecast: 1-0
"Eintracht" is unlikely to bet on the first leg. A minimal defeat will suit them just fine. Here it is necessary for Wolfsburg to come up with something, because just one goal on the home field is clearly not enough. As practice shows, play-offs do not differ in effectiveness. So tune in to a large number of struggles, and goals will only be in the form of a bonus.
