Darmstadt vs Kaiserslautern Prediction & Betting tips
On Wednesday evening, the catch-up game from the 19th matchday of the 2nd Bundesliga between Darmstadt 98 and 1. FC Kaiserslautern will take place. The first attempt was canceled at halftime, as the then Lauterer coach Strasser suffered a feeble attack and had to hospital. In the game, relegation battle is pure. It meet the two currently worst teams in the league. The Kaiserslautern are on the last place in the table and want to use the game to work their way up to the opponents directly in front of them. The kick-off at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor will take place at 17:30.
Darmstadt :
For the former Bundesliga club from southern Hesse, the air in the second league is getting thinner and thinner. After a messy first round under coach Dirk Schuster in the new year everything went better. But the new momentum only lasted for one game day. Immediately after the winter break, the lilies in Hamburg beat FC St. Pauli 1-0. After that, however, not much succeeded. With three defeats in a row Darmstadt has now slipped deep into the descent sump. First they lost in Duisburg with 1: 2, then followed the defeats in Bochum (1: 2) and in Bielefeld (0: 2). Particularly annoying from Darmstädter view was certainly the game in Bochum, as the Hesse could not save a leadership over time. If they win the six-point match against Kaiserslautern, the lilies would overtake the Fürth and Erzgebirge Aue in front of them and leave the relegation ranks.
However, the fans have been waiting for a long time to celebrate a threesome of their team again. The last six home games were all not won. The last victory came in 4: 3 against Arminia Bielefeld in September of last year. Accordingly, the achieved point yield in their own stadium is clear. Just eleven points were taken at Böllenfalltor. Tobias Kempe is the best scorer in the Hessen with four goals and five assists.
Kaiserslautern:
On February 1, Michael Frontzeck joined the mission relegation at the Red Devils on Betzenberg. Actually an almost hopeless undertaking, but now, only two wins later, they have a chance with a threesome at the direct opponent from Darmstadt, to get to the rescue table positions to within striking distance. The victories in Braunschweig (2: 1) and against the storks from Kiel (3: 1) were certainly very good for the self-confidence of the Lauterer. Last Friday there was a small damper when they lost in their own stadium against the top team from Sandhausen 0: 1. Nevertheless, Kaiserslautern now believes again to create the miracle league. Victories against the direct competition are of course doubly important. Another defeat would throw the team of coach Frontzeck back far. After all, the men from Betzenberg were able to win two out of the last three away games, so that they will certainly travel to Darmstadt in good spirits and are aware of the importance of the task. With 20 goals scored the Lauterer are currently the worst offensive in the league. Best scorer of the Red Devils is the Swede Sebastian Andersson. He has been able to net six times this season.
