Energie Cottbus desperately need points today at 6:30 PM in the 2. Bundesliga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Eintracht Braunschweig come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Energie Cottbus travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Eintracht Braunschweig and Energie Cottbus have split their 8 meetings almost evenly (2W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in a 1–1 draw.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Eintracht Braunschweig a slight edge, but Energie Cottbus are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
