Darmstadt vs Duisburg Prediction & Betting tips
On Friday evening the third match day of the 2. Bundesliga starts with two games. We take a look at the away game of the MSV Duisburg in Darmstadt 98. The Zebras from Duisburg started with two defeats conceivably bad in the season. The Darmstadt have won their first home game and will certainly try to keep the white vest in their own stadium. In the DFB Cup both teams could reach the next round. At Darmstadt against Duisburg, the odds point to a favorite role of the hosts. In this article we will check for our readers, whether in the game SV Darmstadt 98 against the MSV Duisburg the tip for a home victory of the lilies is a recommended choice. The kick-off at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor takes place at 17:30.
Darmstadt:
Coach Dirk Schuster has spent the season before the season, to have a worry-free season, as in the last year. It was not until the last matchday that the relegation could be secured. The start of the new season was also promising for the lilies. Somewhat lucky they won 1-0 against SC Paderborn. Newcomer Serdar Dursun scored the much acclaimed winning goal a few minutes after halftime. The SCP was by no means worse than the hosts and awarded by a missed penalty the possible compensation. On the second matchday, however, there was a deserved 0-2 defeat for the team from Hesse in Hamburg at FC St. Pauli. After conceding Neudecker and Buchtmann in the second half, they had to go home empty-handed. Darmstadt is now in twelfth place in the table, but this can easily be corrected at this early stage of the season.
Last Friday, the Darmstadt then had to compete in the DFB Cup in Magdeburg. Against the second league climber, there was a tight, but not undeserved, 1-0 success. Already after three minutes Tobias Kempe brought his colors into the lead with a penalty kick. This leadership should endure to the end and will have strengthened the confidence of the players.
Duisburg:
Conveniently unfavorable is the season start of zebras. On the first two matchdays in the 2nd Bundesliga, it put two defeats. At the beginning, they were defeated in Dresden with 0: 1. A game in which for the Duisburg would have been more in it. There were chances on both sides, but they could not be used by the teams. A week later, the MSV met in the district derby on the VfL Bochum. In the duel of the two losers of the first match day Bochum kept the upper hand 2-0. The team of Ilia Gruev also shows in this game blatant weaknesses in the offensive, although they had the game over long distances under control and were the better team. Even a 25-minute majority after Sidney Sam saw the red card because of an unsportsmanlike nature, could not be used for the first goal of the zebra this season. Thus, the MSV Duisburg is on the penultimate place in the table and has only the SV Sandhausen behind.
Last weekend in the DFB-Pokal the zebras were finally successful. At the top division TuS Dassendorf they won 1-0 by a goal from Borys Tashchy. Even though Coach Gruev was looking forward to the first competitive game goal of the season, they could have expected one or two more goals against a fifth division side. The shape of the players of Duisburg is therefore still strong expandable.
