Sandhausen vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting tips
About 60 kilometers – that’s the distance between Sandhausen and Darmstadt. Thus is on Friday evening in the 2nd Bundesliga on the 5th matchday a derby on. The two Fanlager but maintain no real rivalry. The SV Sandhausen could already celebrate the second consecutive victory in the Baden-Württemberg derby against Heidenheim on the final day, climbing to fourth place in the table.
Darmstadt wanted to show a reaction to the 0: 4-Klatsche in Osnabrück on the fourth matchday, but came home not over a 0: 0 against Dresden. Thus, the lilies are currently with eleven points in eleventh place.
Before the game on Friday evening between Sandhausen and Darmstadt, a forecast is not easy, as the guests only go into the race as a lightweight outsider.
Sandhausen:
After Matchday 2, SV Sandhausen finished in 13th place with just one point. Two games later, the world in Hardtwald looks quite different again. With six points from two games, the Baden now climbed to fourth place. The first win of the season, the men of coach Uwe Koschinat on Matchday 3 with 3: 2 against Nuremberg brought. In the derby at Heidenheim the Kurpfälzer then wanted to refill.
In the 4-2-3-1, the guests had been the more active and better team over the entire season. In the offensive, the SVS had in the first round but schwergetan. Within a few minutes, Sandhausen was ice cold and hit with a double strike to 2: 0-final score. With a good defensive performance, the Badeners brought the victory then quite safe home.
The success of the FCH was in 19 games against the Swabians only the third victory for Sandhausen. In addition, they played for the first time since March 16 again to zero. The fans now dream of flying high. For many experts, the SV is also the first surprise team of the new season. After four matchdays it is in the 2nd Bundesliga but still very close, the table does not have so much meaning.
The fact is: seven points from the first four games mean the best season start of the Kurpfälzer since 2015. In addition, Sandhausen has been unbeaten in seven away games. Under the new coach, the team has undeniably progressed. When Koschinat Sandhausen had taken over in October 2018, the club was deep in the relegation battle.
With a victory on Friday, the Koschinat-Elf could temporarily jump to second place. Icelander Rurik Gislason, who was suspended after training for a game after a hard revenge foul, will again be in the squad against Darmstadt. By contrast, the injured Dieckmann and Karl are missing.
Darmstadt:
Reparation was Darmstadt in the home game against Dynamo Dresden on the program. Coach Dimitrios Grammozis sent to the identical starting eleven as in the 0: 4 in Osnabrück on the lawn. The hosts were only out to avoid mistakes and thus made the back tight. In 4-5-1 the lilies lurked counterattack. In the end, the South Hesse masqueraded a flattering 0: 0. Dresden could not use any of its high-profile opportunities.
The self-imposed goal of holding the zero could thus fulfill the SVD. However, this destructive tactic is unlikely to have too great a future. After the gossip at the climber, the lilies focused on absolute basics as well defend and allow nothing.
But only 34 percent possession of the ball is a rather modest value for a home game. The fans sent their team after the final whistle because of the passive style of play with many whistles in the cabin.
As the team continues to miss many injured, players like Serdar Dursun, Marvin Mehlem and Marcel Heller, who could not convince against Dynamo, probably get their chance on Friday at the BWT Stadium on Hardtwald. The lilies must compete in Honsak, Manu, plate and shoes in Sandhausen.
Since the opponent is not necessarily home strong, the South Hessen of course pays off chances on at least one point.
