Darmstadt vs Hannover Prediction & Betting tips
Hannover 96 took seven out of nine possible points from the last three games. The Lower Saxony conceded no further goal in this time window and went into the 15th matchday with corresponding ambitions. The Reds are seven points missing on the relegation place. In the case of lilies that are weak at home, who only scored eight points in six home games, they should now be refilled.
However, the bookmakers rate this as quite critical. In any case, a look at the odds comparison of the betting base reveals that in the run-up to the encounter between Darmstadt and Hanover the odds turn slightly towards the home side.
After all, Hessen has won three of their last four competitive games across all competitions. With a 1: 2 defeat at VfL Bochum they started the calendar year 2021 very badly. With only five wins from 14 league games, they are only twelfth in the current table of the 2nd Bundesliga.
Also because the Reds have the second best defense in the 2nd Bundesliga with only 14 goals conceded, we ultimately think it is more sustainable to play against Hannover Tip 2 at Darmstadt.
Darmstadt :
SV Darmstadt 98 ended the 2019/20 season in fifth place in the table because of an outstanding second half. Nevertheless, the change of coach that had already been decided in winter was carried out. Markus Anfang took over for Dimitrios Grammozis.
At first it looked as if the course of the Hessians could continue. Only one defeat was recorded in the first eight competitive games of the 2020/21 season. But then came a period of weakness with four defeats from five consecutive games.
It is true that the lilies stabilized shortly before the winter break with two zero victories in the league as well as the move into the round of 16 of the DFB Cup, which also came about with a zero victory over third division leaders Dynamo Dresden.
However, because the away game in Bochum was lost after the short break, the former Bundesliga club did not really move from the spot. Darmstadt only ranks twelfth and with ten points behind the relegation place to the Bundesliga is only seven points ahead of SV Sandhausen, which in turn holds the relegation place in the third division.
So that the lilies don’t have to look primarily in the rear-view mirror, the lilies now have to polish up their home balance. So far they have only taken eight points from six games at home, which was also due to the vulnerable defensive. Only four teams have conceded more goals than Hessen.
This is one of the reasons why those responsible on the transfer market readjusted and brought in Thomas Isherwood, an additional central defender from Allsvenskan. Meanwhile, it was positive that striker Serdar Dursun, who was also associated with today’s guest, could be retained.
Hanover :
There hasn’t been much consistency in the Hannover 96 season either. The Lower Saxony, who, according to the unanimous opinion of the experts, were once again in the narrow circle of aspirants for promotion, have only won six of the previous 14 league games and are only ninth.
Nevertheless, the mood these days is extremely good for the two-time German champions, who can finally go into another game day without worries. For the first time in the 2020/21 season, coach Kenan Kocak has the theoretical chance of being able to offer the same starting XI twice in a row.
So far, he has always had to replace at least one injured or suspended player, which is why it is not surprising that the Reds lacked rhythm and rehearsal.
What is possible when everyone is fit was shown in the most recent home game against SV Sandhausen.
Against his former employer, the Kocak squad brought in a brilliant 4-0 home win that broke several knots. Not only did striker Marvin Ducksch finally meet again, but top transfer Patrick Twumasi was also able to enter the top scorer list after being substituted on.
This offers the Lower Saxony, which has so far primarily been stuck in the game, important new options. Defensively, however, the 96ers are already among the absolute elite of the 2nd Bundesliga. The only 14 goals conceded from the previous 14 games certify the Reds the second best defense of all 18 second division clubs.
If Ducksch or Joker Twumasi build on their newfound joy in scoring, there is little in the way of a tip for the away win of Lower Saxony against Hannover. It would be the first away win at Böllenfalltor since November 1984.
