The hosts are now getting more and more shots on goal. This time Alidou, after a strong dribble on the right side of the penalty area, shoots narrowly wide to the left. Hertha are looking increasingly insecure defensively.

65'

Braunschweig make attacking changes

The hosts bring on a trio of fresh and pacey players. Braunschweig clearly want to turn the pressure on in the closing stages.

Schuler hits the woodwork again

Hertha threaten on the break with Schuler running in from the right. He shoots from about 20 yards out, but his shot rattles the crossbar. It's already the second time today that Schuler has been unlucky with the woodwork.

58'

Reese can only be stopped by a foul

Reese goes on a dribble in midfield and accelerates past two opponents. Only a foul can halt the Hertha player.

56'

Hertha get away with one

Mijatović wins another corner for Braunschweig. There's a dangerous delivery, but an offside flag allows Hertha to clear.

53'

Braunschweig looking to bounce back

Hertha are allowing themselves to be pushed deep into its own half. The hosts are clearly controlling the first minutes of the second half so far.

51'

Tempelmann misses from a good position

At the edge of the penalty area, Tempelmann has plenty of space and time to shoot. However, the attempt goes well wide of the right post – more could have been made of that chance.

50'

Braunschweig get a handle on Hertha

The hosts are giving Hertha hardly any space in midfield and are almost constantly on their heels, resulting in the visitors getting a free-kick.

47'

Mijatović with the first attempt

Braunschweig immediately get the first chance after the break. Following a cross, Mijatović rises high but puts the ball well over the bar.

46'

Play resumes in Braunschweig

Both teams are back on the pitch, and the second half has kicked off.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Braunschweig 0-1 Hertha Berlin

Hertha have a narrow yet deserved lead at the break. The visitors have been much more dangerous on the counter-attack, creating several good chances and scoring through Reese after his penalty was missed. Eintracht Braunschweig have seen more possession, but are struggling to create an impact in attack.

Half-time

Ernst saves against Flick

After a corner, Flick gets a great chance from close range. Ernst extends and produces a brilliant save for Hertha.

45'

Three minutes added on

Three minutes of stoppage time are indicated.

44'

Boos after failed corner

Some discontent can be heard from the stands. Braunschweig play a short corner and pass the ball back almost to their own keeper – that clearly wasn't part of the plan.

43'

Gechter misplays a cross

Gechter attempts a cross from the wing, but doesn't strike the ball cleanly. Hoffmann can collect the ball without any trouble.

40'

Braunschweig lack support on counter-attacks

During their own transition moments, Braunschweig are getting outnumbered. Hertha are having no trouble defending these situations.

37'

Braunschweig fortunate to be only one goal down

The hosts can consider themselves lucky to only be trailing by one goal at the moment. Hertha keep creating dangerous attacks and finding shooting opportunities too easily.

35'

Schuler hits the post

Schuler latches onto a ball into the penalty area and shoots right away. His attempt hits the right post, after which Braunschweig clear. That was another big chance for Hertha.

31'

Reese misses again

After a quick counter-attack, Reese has another effort. However, the attempt goes wide of the far post, resulting in a goal kick.

29'

Darting danger

There is little threat coming from passing moves from either side. The best moments are instead coming after quick transitions and counter-attacks.

27'

The game is opening up

Now chances are emerging on both sides. Braunschweig are becoming increasingly dangerous from crosses and doing better in attack.

0:27

Reese has a chance for a second!

After a deflected cross, the ball falls to Reese's feet at the far post. From close range, he puts his finish narrowly wide of the left post.

24'

Hertha defending well

The visitors are defending very attentively and using their bodies effectively in challenges. As a result, Braunschweig's have hardly created any significant danger so far.

22'

Tempelmann isolted

So much of the hosts' attacking moves are going through Tempelmann. In the final third, however, he has often lacked support, and the decisive pass and clear shots on goal are not coming.

17'

Hertha sitting back a bit

The visitors are now sitting a bit deeper and allowing Braunschweig more possession. However, the hosts have so far lacked the ideas to get into dangerous areas.

15'

Counter-attack runs into nothing

Tempelmann wants to quickly transition after winning the ball, but only Mijatović has made the run forward. The Berlin players have a numerical advantage at the back and defend the situation without any major problems.

13'

Hertha lurking on the break

The visitors are repeatedly attacking quickly after winning the ball. Braunschweig are struggling to contain their transitions.

11'

Reese sends Hertha in front on the rebound!

Reese initially misses the penalty, but Hoffmann can only parry it out. The rebound falls back to Reese, who reacts quickly and slots it home at the second attempt.

Hertha also pressing early

The visitors are also pressing high and winning the ball in the opposing half. That is keeping Braunschweig under pressure during their build-up play.

Tempelmann creates first danger

Tempelmann strongly breaks through with his dribbling and penetrates into the penalty area. His shot is blocked at the last moment.

Braunschweig pressing early

The hosts are pressing Hertha early and putting them under pressure in the build-up. Hertha are repeatedly being forced to play long balls as a result.

Kick-off in Braunschweig

We're off at the Eintracht Stadium with Hertha getting us underway.

Kick-off!

Gechter at right-back

Unless Stefan Leitl makes tactical changes, Linus Gechter will likely defend at right-back. He has done this several times this season (nine times), but not yet in the second half of the season.

More on that Hertha team

After the disappointing 1-0 defeat last week against Lautern, Stefan Leitl makes four changes. Cuisance, Gechter, Karbownik and Schuler come in, while Kolbe, Kownacki, Sessa and Zeefuik go out. The entire attack has therefore been switched.

More on that Braunschweig team

Lino Tempelmann starts in place of Erencan Yardimci. Lars Kornetka already made that switch at half-time last week, otherwise there are no changes - to some surprise - from the side that started the 4-1 loss last week.

Braunschweig can climb out of bottom three

Regardless of how Fürth and Münster fare today, thanks to their better goal difference, one point would be enough for Braunschweig to overtake Düsseldorf and climb out of the bottom three. A win would also take Eintracht ahead of Bielefeld and up to 14th.

Last promotion chance saloon

Hertha's promotion hopes have faded in recent weeks and should they lose today, the gap to second place would be a huge 11 points (with 12 still to play for). Even the eight-point gap to third-placed Elversberg would surely prove too big a mountain to climb in that case.

Starting line-up: Eintracht Braunschweig

Starting line-up: Hertha BSC

Lars Kornetka on facing Hertha Berlin

"We're dealing with a team that belongs in the top tier in terms of playing style. We completely analysed last week's match. We've tried to recreate these problem areas that we noticed during training, in order to fix them in the match. There is no time to look backwards. I'm always thinking forward!"

Stefan Leitl on facing Braunschweig

"It's an important match for us, as we want to try to get three points. The small details will decide who wins the match. We expect to face opponents who will put everything into it. We have to stand our ground against that."

Reese against Eintracht

Fabian Reese has not lost any of his nine matches in Bundesliga 2 against Braunschweig (W7, D2) and was involved in nine goals in these games, including four goals of his own.

Hard-fought cup duels

In the meantime, Eintracht have celebrated several successes in the DFB Cup against Hertha. The last two meetings were particularly memorable. In 2022, they won on penalties after a 4-4 draw that followed a 5-4 triumph two years earlier. On both occasions, Braunschweig prevailed as a Bundesliga 2 side against first-division Hertha.

Last Braunschweig league win

Eintracht last won at home to Hertha in Bundesliga 2 in October 1991 (2-1). Holger Aden scored the winning goal, with Mario Basler on the pitch for the Berlin side.

Strong record

Hertha have won their last three meetings with Braunschweig and have not lost any of their last 11 league fixtures against them (W8, D3).
