On the verge of encountering significant losses.
Eintracht Braunschweig, the traditional Lower Saxony club, has made an impressive start to the 2025-2026 season, winning their first two matches in the 2. Bundesliga and sitting 4th in the league standings with 6 points, scoring 4 goals and conceding 2[1].
Under the guidance of new coach Heiner Backhaus, appointed for the 2025-2026 season, the team has shown promising results. The squad has been strengthened with several new players, particularly around the 2025 window.
The trio from Schalke – Mehmet Aydin, Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, and Lino Tempelmann – joined the club for a combined fee of €400k. Louis Breunig, Robin Heußer, and Lukas Frenkert, who bring valuable 2. Bundesliga experience, were also recruited. Erencan Yardimci, on loan from Hoffenheim, is expected to lead the attack[2].
Mehmet Aydin scored the winning goal for Eintracht Braunschweig in their first game against Magdeburg. Lukas Frenkert, a new signing from Preußen Münster, equalized for the team in the 32nd minute against Greuther Fürth, setting the stage for Yardimci to turn the game around just three minutes later[3].
However, the team often found themselves in trouble at the back during the game against Greuther Fürth. Former Eintracht Braunschweig player Jomaine Consbruch, who played for the club in the 2021/22 season, conceded a penalty in stoppage time, but Sebastian Polter converted from the spot to secure a 2-1 victory for Eintracht Braunschweig[4].
Coach Heiner Backhaus and many fans of Eintracht Braunschweig are likely pleased with whoever scores, as long as the team keeps winning. All three goals scored by Eintracht Braunschweig this season have been crucial in securing victories.
Eintracht Braunschweig is eager to secure more victories and build on their strong start to the season. With a rebuilding phase underway after escaping relegation, the club is looking forward to a more stable campaign in the coming months.
