Hertha Berlin are flying under Leitl
The 2025/26 season is proving a season of transition for Hertha BSC Berlin and TSV Eintracht Braunschweig alike, with both clubs looking to adapt to new coaching staff, rather than a classic rivalry match. Stefan Leitl took over the Berliners’ technical department back in February, but has quickly got the squad to buy into his tactical system, which has yielded 4 consecutive wins for Hertha, including a 3-0 DFB Pokal win and last weekend’s 1-0 away win over FC Kaiserslautern in the 2. Bundesliga.
That result leaves Hertha 8th in the table with 20 points from 12 games, while Eintracht Braunschweig are sat 16th on 10 points after 12 matches. Our Hertha BSC Berlin vs TSV Eintracht Braunschweig prediction is that Hertha’s flexibility and use of the ball under Leitl has been key to their recent success, with the team able to adjust from a possession-based style to a more direct approach depending on the game state and opponent. They will hope that Fabian Reese, the team’s creative hub with 5 assists in 12 league games, can unlock Braunschweig on Friday.
Heiner Backhaus took over at Eintracht Braunschweig back in July and has brought his own tactical blueprint to the club, a more physical, direct 4-4-2 which focuses on high-intensity pressing and winning the 50-50 duels. Erencan Yardimci has been the main striker option for Braunschweig, scoring 3 times in 10 2. Bundesliga games.
Hertha to edge out the visitors
Backhaus’ men are coming into this one on the back of a 3-game losing run which saw them lose 2-1 to FC Nurnberg and 0-2 to VfL Bochum in their last 2 2. Bundesliga games. This Hertha BSC Berlin vs TSV Eintracht Braunschweig prediction will be an interesting game of chess between two coaches trying to build something, with Hertha’s flexible system against Braunschweig’s pressing and physicality. Hertha Berlin are the favorites and with good reason, as they are unbeaten in 3 meetings between these sides (W2, D1), including a 5-1 win away to Braunschweig just 8 months ago.
With Hertha winning 4 games in a row, home advantage and a much better head-to-head record, I’m going for the Berliners to win. When considering Hertha BSC Berlin vs TSV Eintracht Braunschweig betting tips, keep in mind that Braunschweig have won 2 of their 6 away league games, losing 4 and conceding 10 goals in that time. Hertha have conceded just 5 in 6 home league matches, so there is a solid base for a home win here.
The Hertha BSC Berlin vs TSV Eintracht Braunschweig preview also suggests over 2.5 goals is a short odds 1.6, so we might expect a goal-filled game on Friday, with Luca Schuler, who has 3 goals in 7 league appearances and has scored 3 of Hertha’s last 8 in a 5-game run, a good pick for an anytime goalscorer.
