Darmstadt vs Dusseldorf Prediction & Betting tips
Again in Darmstadt the fear of descent is omnipresent. Because after the crashing descent from the Bundesliga at the end of the last season threatens now also the heavy gear in the third division. After the lilies last four games in series without defeat, followed on Easter Monday with Fortuna Dusseldorf one of the biggest challenges, which currently holds the 2nd Bundesliga. Because the Rhinelander are currently sovereign front runner and won the last three games in series. The betting odds for three-way bets on one of the two teams are at a high level and are almost balanced despite the different conditions. We basically see the Düsseldorfer in the role of favorites, but trust the Darmstadt also quite a point. Ultimately, we decide for a tip that both teams score at least one goal. Because both the lilies and the Fortuna proved in the recent five games very accurate and scored here at least one hit.
Darmstadt:
For two years, first-class football was played at the Merck Stadium on Böllenfalltor, but in the last season relegation to the second Bundesliga followed. But even here, the lilies never really found their way, which is clearly reflected in the table situation. For here are the Darmstädter after 27 Matchday with a record of six wins, ten draws and eleven defeats, a goal difference of 37:42 and 28 points on the 17th and thus penultimate place. Here is the responsible persons hardly anything to blame, because head coach Dirk Schuster, who followed in mid-December on Torsten Frings, did not bring the hoped-for turn.
A brief glimmer of hope appeared after the winter break, when the lilies could score three times against St. Pauli. This was followed by four defeats in series, before the free fall could be stopped with a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Heidenheim. This was followed by an unexpected 2-0 victory at Dynamo Dresden and two 1-1 draw against FC Ingolstadt and 1. FC Nuremberg, which did not change anything fundamental in the table situation. At least in terms of personnel, the lilies are not badly positioned. With defender Peter Niemeyer and striker Felix Platte, Dirk Schuster lacks only two players. At least Platte could be adequately replaced with Terrence Boyd, who also laid the foundation for the point in Nuremberg on the final day with his early goal.
Dusseldorf:
In the last season showed the Duesseldorf gymnastic and sports club Fortuna 1895 e.V. at best mediocre performances and found himself at the end of the season in eleventh place again. In the current season, head coach Friedhelm Funkel led his team with a remarkable record of sixteen wins, five draws and six defeats, a goal difference of 46:34 and 53 points to the table top. The lead over second-placed Nürnberg is already seven points and should remain constant after the 28th matchday, if possible. Ideally, another threesome would be perfect for this, but a draw would hardly knock the Rhinelander off track either.
The winter break had the Duesseldorfer first with three victories in series well survived. Somewhat surprisingly then a break-in against Union Berlin (1: 3), relegation candidate SpVgg Greuther Fürth (1: 1) and Jahn Regensburg (3: 4). From this, the Funkel-Elf recovered against 1. FC St. Pauli, where in the end an absolutely deserved 2-1 victory was recorded. Against the MSV Duisburg (2: 1) had the Fortuna but just as problems as in the last game against Arminia Bielefeld. Especially against Bielefeld, the Rhinelanders showed good morale and equalized twice a residue and won in the end even significantly. Personnel trainer Funkel has to make some changes, especially on the defensive. In addition to the injured defender Andre Hoffmann missing with Niko Gießelmann and Adam Bodzek equal to two more defenders due to a yellow card suspension.
