Bochum vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting tips
In the Monday evening game, VfL Bochum and SV Darmstadt face each other and each fight for the connection to the top of the table. These threaten to lose both teams, they are equal in the middle of the second Bundesliga after the first third of the current season. In particular, at VfL, they are likely to mourn the four missed points from the last two games, in which the Bochum each play a two-goal lead and in the result also a place in the top 5. The Darmstädter, however, were able to win their last two (home) games and get some air on the relegation zone.
But far away the lilies have big problems and belong together with Aue and Ingolstadt to the three worst second division teams. Accordingly, the hosts will find themselves on Monday (12.11.2018, 19:30 clock) in a quite significant role favorites again. Nevertheless, we tend to the point division, because the VfL so far defeated in the Vonovia Ruhr Stadium opponents are mainly in the table cellar to find. The coming guests should be here again another house number, which is why we recommend for the match between Bochum and Darmstadt a safe bet on the draw.
Bochum:
After the twelfth matchday VfL Bochum is in tenth place with a record of four wins, five draws and three defeats, a goal difference of 21:15 and 17 points. The gap to the top of the table is thus already ten points (with the HSV has already completed a game more). The backlog could have been lower, but the team of head coach Robin Dutt gave away four points in the last two games. Because both in the home game against Jahn Regensburg (3: 3) and last weekend at SpVgg Greuther Fürth (2: 2) led the VfL with two goals and could not bring this each time.
In Vonovia Ruhrstadion Bochum lost so far only the games against 1 FC Cologne (0: 2) and Dynamo Dresden (0: 1). In between are two wins against SV Sandhausen (1-0) and FC Ingolstadt (6-0). Most recently followed a win against Arminia Bielefeld (1: 0) and the already mentioned 3: 3-draw against Jahn Regensburg. Looking at the results, it is striking that the wins could only be won against the table children. Against more ambitious teams from the midfield or the top of the table, however, it was enough at best to a draw. So also on the last three matchdays, in the three draws were retracted in series.
Darmstadt:
The SV Darmstadt 98 is after the twelfth matchday with a record of five wins, two draws, and five defeats, a balanced goal difference of 17:17 and seventeen points in twelfth place. Here, the Hesse succeeded only in the last two games, a small liberation, because with the two home victories against SpVgg Greuther Fürth (2: 0) and 1 FC Magdeburg six points were retracted and expanded the cushion on the relegation to a good seven points , By the way, the lilies have made it to the first place with these two successes in the home table.
In the away table, on the other hand, the lilies are on the penultimate place with only four out of a possible fifteen points. Especially in the games against St. Pauli (0: 2), Dynamo Dresden (1: 4) and Holstein Kiel (2: 4) the lilies were on lost posts. In the meantime, it was enough for 1. FC Heidenheim to a rather tight, but not undeserved 1-0 victory. In the last away match so far, the team of head coach Dirk Schuster fought a performance-based 1-1 draw against third-placed Jahn Regensburg, which means the Darmstadt are unbeaten for three matchdays.
