Starting XI debutant Münz
Eleven days before his 19th birthday, Reno Münz celebrates his starting XI debut at the professional level after three previous brief substitute appearances.
Three changes for SpVgg
In the first five matchdays, Alexander Zorniger had made only two changes to his starting eleven between matches, but today there are three changes compared to last week. Instead of Itter, Asta (both not in the squad) and Srbeny (bench), Gießelmann, Münz and Mustapha are starting - for all three, it's their first start in the starting eleven this season in the second division.
Unchanged in Lower Saxony
Braunschweig starts with the same starting eleven for the third game in a row, still hoping for their first win of the season after securing their first point in the last match against Darmstadt.
Fürth starting XI
Noll - Dietz, Jung, Münz - Massimo, Bansé, Green, Gießelmann - Hrgota - Mustapha, Futkeu
Braunschweig's starting lineup
Grill - Ivanov, Bičakčić, Jaeckel - Rittmüller, Krauße, Köhler, Di Michele Sanchez - Kaufmann - Polter, Philippe
