The further convincing SV Elversberg clearly beat Eintracht Braunschweig on the penultimate second division matchday and can thus continue to dream of the Bundesliga promotion. The relegation worries of the guests, on the other hand, intensify – the BTSV slips onto the relegation place.
Fisnik Asllani (11th) and Muhammed Damar (18th and 21st) already met in the first half and ensured the completely safe 3: 0 (3: 0) home victory on Saturday afternoon (May 10, 2025). Elversberg remains third on the relegation place with the victory, but could also rise directly. But the competition from Paderborn (4th), Düsseldorf (5th) and Kaiserslautern (7th) is still lurking on the promotion – the last match day will offer high tension in the promotion struggle.

Braunschweig is worried about relegation
Braunschweig, on the other hand, has to accept a deserved bankruptcy after six games without defeat and playfully improved performance. Due to Münster’s victory against Hertha BSC, the lions slide at relegation place 16 – tied with the Münsterers. The direct descent of the Braunschweiger is still possible – if competitor SSV Ulm (17th place) on Saturday evening (8.30 p.m.), but not winning against leader Hamburg, this scenario is averted from BTSV perspective.
“We have lost a lot of crucial duels. With such a first half you cannot survive here“Braunschweig’s coach Daniel Schering summed up:”We left a chance today. Now it’s about getting your head back up. But we know that we have to appear differently than today. “
Elversberg has everything under control against Braunschweig
Elversberg started furiously in front of 9105 spectators. Asllani, who is loaned by the Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim, provided the early lead with his 18th goal of the season. U20 national player Damar followed up and rewarded the playfully convincing aspiration aspirant. Asllani (29th), Tom Zimmerschied (33.) and Lukas Petkov (45.+1) missed further goals before the break.
Elversberg had everything under control even after the change, only the defective exploitation of opportunities could be accused of the poor opportunities. From Braunschweig far too little came too little.
