1. FC Saarbrücken and Eintracht Braunschweig are aiming for a strong starting position in the battle for promotion to the 2. Bundesliga in the first leg of the relegation playoffs. The third-division team from Saarland will initially have home advantage in the match on Friday (8:30 p.m./Sat.1 and Sky). The decisive match will be played next Tuesday in the return leg in Braunschweig.

While Saarbrücken are in high spirits after reaching the relegation play-offs on the final matchday, Braunschweig is in crisis. The Lower Saxony side parted ways with coach Daniel Scherning one day after their 4-1 defeat to 1. FC Nuremberg in the 2. Bundesliga season finale. His job has been taken over by former assistant coach Marc Pfitzner.
