Darmstadt vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday, 30.10.2018, the match will be at 17:30 in the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor Darmstadt vs Hertha. As part of the DFB Cup all remaining 32 teams compete in 16 games against each other. Also in this match we can talk about at least one little “David versus Goliath” situation. Darmstadt struggles in the second division in midfield for his position, since both the view is upwards and those attached down. Hertha, on the other hand, recently set great ambitions in the direction of international places.
Darmstadt:
Darmstadt was able to prevail in the first round of the DFB Cup just 1: 0 against 1. FC Magdeburg. An early penalty in the third minute left his mark on the game, but at the same time made it to the final.
In the second division they are currently after eleven matchdays in twelfth place of the table. With a gate balance of 14:16 14 points are recorded. Compared to the respective league average, these are acceptable values. The distance to places 16 and 17 is five or eight points. Up to third and second place are five and seven points, respectively. It makes clear that both up and down would be possible.
After a series of six games without a win, including four defeats, Darmstadt was able to retract the first triple for a long time at the weekend. In the 2-0 win against Fürth, the defensive remained the first time without conceding after six games in a row. Maybe this was a small exclamation mark in the direction of the capital city.
Coach Dirk Schuster has to do without Selim Gündüz and Rouven Sattelmaier. Since both players are not really integrated in their respective positions (midfielder and substitute keeper), it is unlikely that these personalities at Darmstadt – Hertha influence the odds.
Hertha:
Hertha BSC had to compete against Eintracht Braunschweig in the first round of the DFB Cup. They also only managed a close 1: 2. Only in the 83rd minute Vedad Ibisevic could decide the game in favor of the old lady. In the 1. Bundesliga Hertha BSC dropped a bit. In the meantime, they were still in second place, they are currently “only” in sixth place. Nevertheless, it is very close to the top of the table. A victory and the “Top 3” are back in sight, a defeat and eighth place would be possible.
But we can say that the Dardai team has lost just one match this season. On 25.09. they had beaten Werder Bremen away with 1: 3. Then they could defeat the German champions 2-0. This was followed by a 1-1 draw against Freiburg and a 2-2 on the weekend at the leaders from Dortmund. All in all, Hertha is as good as it has not been for a long time. It is therefore all the more understandable that Darmstadt – Hertha’s odds for an away win are accordingly low.
A true luxury problem has Dardai on the left wing. Both Plattenhardt and Mittelstädt convinced lately. Dardai would like to set both up. However, Dardai will have to do without Peter Pekarik, Jordan, Torunarigha, Marius Gersbeck, Marko Grujic, Julius Kade, Dennis Jastrzembski and Per Skjelbred.
