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
