Darmstadt vs Karlsruher Prediction & Betting tips
A little more than 100 kilometers on the A5 have to be covered to get from Darmstadt to Karlsruhe and vice versa. Accordingly, there is quite a kind of south-west derby between the tithe of the pre-season from Hesse and the third-league climber from Baden-Württemberg, although both teams have faced only 22 times in a competitive match so far.
A bit too little to build up an overly large rivalry, especially since both have not met in five years. At that time they finished second and third in the 2nd Bundesliga. For the lilies it went high in the Bundesliga, while the KSC had to start after defeat in the relegation two years later even the gear in the third division. Now both are back in the 2nd Bundesliga.
It is Darmstadt against Karlsruhe according to odds of bookmakers only minimally in the role of favorites. Thus, the fact that all three betting options from the classic 3-way system are very close together, points to a very close match at eye level. Above all, the current form plays a major role.
The lilies were last six games in series without further victory, while also the KSC could win after a strong season opener only one of the last six second division matches.
Dangling, which are very relevant for the prognosis at Darmstadt against Karlsruhe, because with too broad chest is truly none of the two teams in this Southwest Derby. Accordingly, we believe that it is most sustainable to play tip X on the division of points at Darmstadt against Karlsruhe.
Darmstadt :
The SV Darmstadt 98 traveled to VfL Bochum last weekend with five straight games in the series and a bit back to the wall. After seven games, they were without victory.
It was clear that the Hesse aspired to the away win, on the one hand to be able to keep a pursuer at a distance and on the other hand finally allowed to orient a little bit up again.
In the end, the team of Dimitrios Grammozis but had to cheer on the division of points in a 2-2 draw. On the other hand, VfL, who caught the equalizer only five minutes before the end of the game by Joker Marcel Heller, thus remained without a win.
The table considered, should the lilies, however, the cheers quickly get stuck in the jaw again. Due to the threesome of Holstein Kiel Darmstadt 98 is finally on the third last place since the weekend, with which it would go to the end of the season in the relegation.
Although the sporting director Carsten Wehlmann stressed on BILD that one continues to coach Dimitrios Grammozis and is fully behind him, but it should be completely undisputed that the lilies should finish their sporting dry spell this weekend. If against the KSC again no three, then the case could threaten a direct relegation place.
And given that then comes the international break, in the next one and a half months, the only really logical time for a change of coach would be with his troops then two weeks to adjust to the upcoming tasks, the people in charge could, despite the oaths quite possibly pondering.
The biggest shortcoming at the moment: The lilies are not achieving enough goals. The eight goals are the worst value of the entire 2nd Bundesliga. It is clear that Felix Platte (muscle bundle rupture) is just as painfully missed as the new addition from Halle Braydon Manu (bone edema).
But it is also clear that in Darmstadt against Karlsruhe, the odds in the weak Torausbeute impossible to turn in the direction of the home side, which are led here only because of the home advantage as the very easy favorite.
Karlsruhe:
The first three weeks of the new season were truly fantastic for the returnee in the 2nd Bundesliga. To kick off a 2-1 away win at co-starter Wehen Wiesbaden, then a 4-2 home debut against Dynamo Dresden and then also the cup victory over Hannover 96.
The KSC was surprisingly on a promotion space and the fans dreamed of a march, as it has done just today last year, the SC Paderborn next to today’s opponent Darmstadt 98.
It followed, however, three defeats in a row, which have brought the troop of Alois Schwartz very quickly back to the ground of reality. The everyday life of the former German Champion of the Year 1909 is now also a struggle for survival in the 2nd Bundesliga.
There may only be a single victory on record in the last six games, but the interim results of Baden can be drawn quite differently. Thus, the KSC, as Alois Schwartz also correctly noted, in the past three games without defeat, scored a respectable twelve goals and thus occupies ninth place in the table. On the one hand one-digit and on the other hand just four points away from third.
But: Conversely, only four points above today’s opponent Darmstadt 98, which in turn is on the relegation place in the direction of third division. A correspondingly groundbreaking match is facing the blue-white at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor when either the lead on a relegation place could shrink sharply or the connection to the top is restored.
All in all, that relies on Darmstadt against Karlsruhe our tip on the draw, because because of the risk of being able to fall low, the KSC should definitely not headless offensively occur in Darmstadt.
With Damian Roßbach, the regular left-back is still injured with torn ligaments and has to be replaced in Hessen by the last strong, but by no means flawless new signing Dirk Carlson. Significantly, it will arrive on the Brunswick new signing Philipp Hofmann, who has so far arrived perfectly in the 2nd Bundesliga with five goals this season.
