Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Unusual bench warmer
Braunschweig's top scorer Rayan Philippe is sitting on the bench at the start of a competitive match for the first time since 8 December 2023. On that occasion, he was substituted on at the beginning of the second half in a 3-1 victory in Wiesbaden and turned the game around with an assist and a goal.
Bormuth back in the starting lineup
Robin Bormuth is in the Karlsruhe starting lineup for the first time since his cruciate ligament rupture in March 2024. After the winter break, following his comeback, he had previously made two brief appearances as a substitute.
Milestone match for Hoffmann
Eintracht goalkeeper Ron-Thorben Hoffmann is playing his 50th second-division match today (48 for Braunschweig, two for Schalke).
Four changes for Braunschweig
Eintracht manager Daniel Scherning makes four changes to his starting XI compared to the last match (a 1-2 home defeat to Cologne): Baas, Dräger, Szabó and Tachie start in place of Köhler (suspended due to yellow cards), Rittmüller, Philippe and Polter (all on the bench).
Karlsruhe make three changes
Karlsruhe manager Christian Eichner makes three changes to his starting line-up compared to the last match (a 2-2 draw at Elversberg): Bormuth, Burnić and Jensen come in for Franke (not in the squad), Conté and Egloff (both on the bench).
Eintracht's starting XI
Hoffmann - Ivanov, Bičakčić, Ehlers - Dräger, Baas, Di Michele Sanchez - Gómez, Tempelmann - Szabó, Tachie

Christian Eichner on facing Braunschweig
"When you haven't collected three points yet in the second half of the season, then the entire dressing room, the coaching staff, the club and the spectators are all striving for the match to be won."
Daniel Scherning on facing Karlsruhe
"We expect a very compact team with clear patterns of play. They have shown in recent matches that they possess a lot of character. We expect them to carry the momentum from the closing stages of the last matchday into their home game against us. They have a very hard-running and intelligent midfield. Up front, they have strikers with a lot of depth."
Historic loss
Braunschweig suffered their heaviest defeat in Bundesliga 2 against Karlsruhe (7-0 at the Wildpark in May 2006.
Difficult matches at the Wildpark

On equal terms
