On October 18, 2024, Hertha Berlin will take on Eintracht Braunschweig at the Olympiastadion in the 9th round of Bundesliga 2. Here’s an exclusive match prediction from the Sportsmacro experts.
Hertha
The club recently welcomed a new investor, with Windhorst investing around a billion euros—an extraordinary sum in pragmatic German football. Unfortunately, this investment ended in disappointment as Hertha was relegated to the second division in 2023. Despite entering the league with high expectations, they finished 9th, well outside promotion contention.
Christian Fiél was appointed as the new head coach, but his arrival did not result in significant changes or reinforcements. Hertha secured their first win only in the third round, and after eight matches, they have an even record of three wins and three losses.
Eintracht Braunschweig
The club has experienced its share of highs and lows over the past decade, briefly reaching the top flight before dropping down to the third division. For the most part, they’ve been a fixture in Bundesliga 2, narrowly avoiding relegation last season by finishing 15th.
