Eintracht Braunschweig: Training camp in Austria and test match against Kiel!

Eintracht Braunschweig is preparing intensively for the upcoming 2025/26 season. As part of these preparations, the club has booked a training camp in Austria, which will take place in St. Johann in Tirol from July 4th to 12th. How eintracht.com reported, the program also includes a test match against Holstein Kiel, which is scheduled for July 19th at 1 p.m. The match will take place over a playing time of 120 minutes, with further information on venue and ticket sales to follow.

The match against Holstein Kiel will be followed particularly closely as both Kiel and Braunschweig are in danger of relegation in their respective leagues. In a friendly match last Thursday, Kiel saved itself with a 2-2 draw against Braunschweig. After a 0-2 deficit at half-time, captain Lewis Holtby equalized in the 72nd minute and Benedikt Pichler, who scored with a penalty kick in the 86th minute. Marvin Rittmüller had already given Braunschweig the lead in the 13th minute after a mistake by Holtby, and Johan Gomez made it 2-0 in the 35th minute after Kiel's defense failed again ndr.de reported.

Analysis of the test match

During the course of the game, Eintracht Braunschweig was mostly secure in defense, but was unable to save the lead over time. Kiel started the second half much more offensively and was the team that dominated the game, but for a long time had difficulty putting anything countable on the scoreboard. Steven Skrzybski narrowly missed out in the 76th minute when he hit the post from 45 meters.

Eintracht coach Daniel Scherning decided to change almost his entire team except for two positions. Despite the mixed league situation, Scherning continued to receive the club's trust on Tuesday. Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, slipped to 18th place after the draw and is going into the upcoming international break with a bad feeling.

The upcoming training camp and test matches are an important opportunity for both teams to optimally prepare for the season and possibly take their first steps back to safer table regions.
