Bundesliga 2: Eintracht Braunschweig Faces Tough Challenge Despite Strong Performances
New Eintracht Braunschweig manager Daniel Scherning remains optimistic about his team's chances, despite their current second-last position in the 2. Bundesliga. "Three games into my time at the club, we've always been in contention for points," Scherning said at the press conference ahead of the match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden.
The team has had a mixed start to the season, with a triumph against VfL Osnabrück (3:2) in their first match, followed by two narrow defeats against Hamburger SV (1:2) and SpVgg Greuther Fürth (0:1). Their home form has been relatively strong, but their away record remains undesirable, as they are yet to secure a single point on the road.
Scherning recognizes the team's efforts, saying, "In terms of distance covered, we've been at a top level. Our commitment in Hamburg was second to none, but we just couldn't turn that into a point."
The upcoming opponent, SV Wehen Wiesbaden, has been causing headlines, having secured their first promotion to the 2. Bundesliga this season. Currently placing 13th in the table, Wehen Wiesbaden has recorded 21 points in 15 games, playing with a sense of freedom and euphoria since their promotion.
Scherning expects to have Saulo Decarli and Luc Ihorst, both key players, back in action for the team, although with reduced workloads. With just a few days until the game, Scherning remains confident in his team's performance.
