Darmstadt vs Hamburger SV Prediction & Betting tips
In football, joy and sorrow are often very close together. After a great start to the season, it was said that HSV can already reserve the town hall balcony for the promotion party. Meanwhile, the Hanseatic League seem to be on the way to the gray mediocre in the second Bundesliga. With a defeat in Darmstadt on Saturday, there is a risk of falling into no man’s land.
Hamburg is currently in fourth place in the table of the second division. If you see it positively, then only two points are missing to rank one. However, the Hanseatic League has only three points more than the eleventh. Therefore, the encounter at Böllenfalltor is definitely groundbreaking for HSV, which is in difficult times.
For Darmstadt 98 it looks even worse. Markus Anfang’s team is in 14th position and is only one point above the relegation zone. Therefore, the well-known bookmakers in the game between Darmstadt and HSV also give a forecast of a guest victory. They are confirmed by the statistics that no home wins have been celebrated in this duel in the second division.
Serdar Dursun has what it takes to become a HSV fright on Saturday. The lilies scored three goals in the second division at home against HSV and all three are due to the native of Hamburg, who, however, never laced his shoes for the red pants. Perhaps it is an option to place a tip on a Dursun hit in the game between Darmstadt and HSV.
Darmstadt:
Markus Anfang didn’t really arrive at the Böllenfalltor. With twelve points from ten games, you shouldn’t be surprised that you’re in the bottom third of the ranking. The statistics before the match against Hamburg don’t really say much positively about the lilies. There was only one win in the four home games this season.
Overall, the Hessen conceded three defeats in the last four games, including very sensitive ones against Paderborn and in Aue. The lilies do not currently have much self-confidence. Overall, therefore, in the game between Darmstadt and Hamburg, it looks more like taking the odds on a success of the guests under the microscope.
It couldn’t have been much more bitter than last weekend for the Darmstadt team. At the guest appearance in Düsseldorf, Markus Anfang’s team was twice in front. Serdar Dursun was responsible for the 1-0, Tobias Kempe scored the 2-1 with a penalty. In the 89th minute, the lilies conceded the goal of the unnecessary 3-2 defeat.
In terms of personnel, things are currently not looking bad at Darmstadt 98. Victor Palsson and Maximilian Wittek are the only two players who are still in the hospital. Nicolai Rapp has just left this. But whether it will last until kick-off remains to be seen. Should he get fit, the former Berliner should probably get a place in the three-man chain.
HSV :
It’s starting again. Probably nobody on the Elbe is surprised by the current lean period at Hamburger SV. Perhaps it is too boring for the players when they are at the top of the standings by a few points. There is actually no other explanation for such a slump that the Hanseatic people are currently experiencing.
After five wins at the start of the season, HSV has not won in five games and has recently suffered three defeats in a row. Nevertheless, Daniel Thioune’s team is considered a favorite in the odds comparison of the betting base and many other experts also give a forecast of the guests in the encounter between Darmstadt and HSV.
Maybe it’s because of the morale that Hamburg showed last weekend. An early 0: 1 in the derby against Hanover prompted Sonny Kittel to commit a rude foul with a dismissal as a result. Only 20 minutes had been played when HSV was 0: 1 behind and outnumbered. Nevertheless, especially in the second half, the equalizer was pushed out, but it should not fall in the end.
HSV can orient itself to this performance in order to leave the negative spiral in Darmstadt. This will of course take place without Sonny Kittel, who is banned. He has not lost in six games against Darmstadt and would be a suitable lucky charm. In addition to Kittel, the Hanseatic team will only have to do without the still injured Rick van Drongelen.
