Darmstadt vs Duisburg Prediction & Betting tips
Darmstadt 98 and MSV Duisburg meet on Matchday 21 of the second Bundesliga. In the last season, both clubs separated two leagues, now both meet in the lower house on each other – but with the opposite sign than expected before the season. Bundesliga relegated Darmstadt is 16th in the midst of the next relegation battle and must fear to be passed through to the third division. The MSV, however, is fifth in the table and is just five points behind third in the advanced promotion race. As the home game of the lilies against Kaiserslautern at half-time at the score of 0: 0 due to a medical emergency to FCK head coach Jeff Strasser had to be canceled (the match will be repeated in full on 21.2.), It is for Darmstadt coach Dirk Schuster a new home premiere after his return shortly before the winter break.
Darmstadt :
Since the return of coach Dirk Schuster the Darmstädter remained unbeaten with four points from two away games. Everyone involved is delighted that Schuster and his assistant coach Sascha Franz (son of ex-Bundesliga coach Horst Franz) are back. For the coach duo it was after their departure in 2016 with the rather short Intermezzo in Augsburg not too good, in Darmstadt but without the two still significantly worse. Coach-routine Norbert Meier and coach-newcomer Torsten Frings failed as a successor ultimately both relatively miserable, so that Schuster – who had said goodbye to 14th in the Bundesliga – took over in 16th place in the second division again. In the winter break, the Darmstadt could strengthen their squad qualitatively significant. Frings’ Joevin Jones was very successful and even scored a goal. Also, Slobodan Medojevic of Eintracht Frankfurt, Dong-Won Ji (who knows the cobbler from Augsburg), returnees Romain Bregerie and Baris Atik all have Bundesliga experience. Atik’s obligation surprised the most, as he could not convince in the last half of the table bottom Kaiserslautern. In sick leave is with Jan Rosenthal only a potential regular player, otherwise the lilies can draw from the full.
Duisburg:
The MSV Duisburg plays until this time an excellent season. Coach Ilia Gruev has become a real success coach. He took over in the fall of 2015 and led the MSV at that time from almost hopeless position even in the relegation, where, however, failed to the Würzburger Kickers. In the following season Gruev managed sovereign the direct resurgence and now the Meidericher are on a superior for them fifth place. While club legend and ex-European champion Bernard “Ennatz” Dietz already quietly dreams of marching into the Bundesliga, remain Gruev and sporting director Ivica Grlic on the ground and initially continue to give up the primary goal relegation. Also in terms of personnel, the athletic leadership duo continued their commitment during the winter break and the damp Duisburg wallet was spared. With the technically experienced Austrian Christian Gartner (formerly Fortuna Dusseldorf) came only a new signing. Left the club Simon Brandstetter and the rejected Thomas Bröker. Waiver must Meidericher in Darmstadt on game designer Fabian Schnellhardt. Further failures are not to be complained.
