One point three per game, the home record whispers. One point five five goals scored per game, one point four five conceded. The numbers speak, and they speak of a side that holds its ground.
But the visitor, Eintracht Braunschweig, carries a heavier burden on the road. Twenty away games, and twelve of them ended in defeat. Five wins, three draws, twelve losses. One point nine per game, one point seven conceded per game. The road is a hard place for them, it is. Twelve losses in twenty away games — a record that spans a full year, and one that weighs heavily on the visitor.
The recent form, however, gives no side a clear advantage. Fürth have lost their last two, scoring one and conceding seven. Braunschweig won their last game, one-nil against Holstein Kiel at home, but before that they lost to Kaiserslautern and Osnabrück on the road. Both sides are searching, both are stumbling. The last meeting at this ground, on 24 January, ended in a goalless draw — a red card in the third minute for Fürth, and a cagey, cautious affair. The head-to-head at this venue is thin: one meeting in the last twelve months. The older meetings, stretching back two years, show both sides winning at home and a 3-3 draw, but those are historical, not current form. The twenty-game venue record is the truer measure here.
The counter-argument is real, and I will not pretend it is not. Fürth's last five games produced no wins, and the 0-5 friendly loss to Stuttgart, while a friendly, stings. Braunschweig's 1-0 win over Kiel suggests they can find a way to park the bus. The 0-0 at this ground last January reminds us that this fixture can go quiet. Both teams have failed to score in a handful of recent games, and the 0-0 draw in the only recent meeting at this venue is a cautionary tale.
But the weight of the evidence leans one way. A side that wins seven of twenty home games against a side that loses twelve of twenty away games — that is a gap the numbers do not hide. The home record is the compass here, and it points to Fürth. The market prices the home win at 2.1, implying a 47.62% chance. My reading of the venue records and the away struggles of Braunschweig puts the true likelihood a touch higher than that. The road is long for the visitor, and the home side knows the ground.
Key Points:
- SpVgg Greuther Fürth's home record: 7W 5D 8L in 20 games, 1.3 points per game, 1.55 scored per game
- Eintracht Braunschweig's away record: 5W 3D 12L in 20 games, 0.9 points per game, 1.7 conceded per game
- Both teams are in poor recent form: Fürth 0W 2D 3L in last 5, Braunschweig 1W 1D 3L
- The only recent meeting at this venue (24 January 2026) ended 0-0
- Braunschweig have lost 12 of their last 20 away games
The home win is the pick. The ground knows its keeper, and the visitor's road record does not lie.
