Expect to see a largely different Eintracht Braunschweig side this weekend with Anton Donkor and Maurice Multhaup both in contention for recalls. Striker Benjamin Girth is struggling with an ankle injury and will be sidelined for the rest of August. Torsten Lieberknecht could hand a first league start to centre-back Christoph Zimmermann, who appeared from the bench against Sandhausen after making the switch from Championship side Norwich. The visitors will be without injured duo Aaron Seydel and Thomas Isherwood for this weekend's game.
Eintracht Braunschweig have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 7 matches (2. Bundesliga). Eintracht Braunschweig have failed to score in 6 of their last 8 matches (2. Bundesliga). There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Darmstadt's last 9 games (2. Bundesliga). Eintracht Braunschweig have lost 6 of their last 7 matches (2. Bundesliga). There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Eintracht Braunschweig's last 7 home games (2. Bundesliga). Darmstadt are undefeated in their last 5 matches against Eintracht Braunschweig in all competitions.
Eintracht Braunschweig's return to the second tier has been far from a smooth ride with the newly-promoted side suffering 2-0 and 3-0 defeats against Hamburg and FC Heidenheim respectively. A penalty shootout win against Bundesliga side Hertha Berlin has given reason for optimism, but the hosts remain pointless in 2. Bundesliga. Darmstadt struck early in both halves last weekend as they beat Sandhausen 2-1 on home turf. Torsten Lieberknecht's side were comfortably beaten by Jahn Regensburg on the opening day but have since won back-to-back games in all competitions. 0:2
