Darmstadt:
In the last season, the lilies were able to save only on the last day before relegation. Even under coach Dirk Schuster, who took over the team of Torsten Frings after the 17th matchday in 16th place, did not begin a fundamental upswing. But the fourth place in the back round table was sufficient for relegation. Here the Hessen conceded the fewest goals in the back series. In Darmstadt, there is now great anticipation and confidence in the new season. At the season opener Paderborn should be laid with a victory, the foundation for a carefree season. For the big jump up but probably missing the quality. The team will play in the 4-2-3-1 system. With center-back Marcel Franke on loan from Norwich City, only one new signing will be in the starting eleven. The other signings Sebastian Hertner and Serdar Dursun must probably sit on the bench.
The team puts under Schuster back on well-tried virtues such as passionate defensive work and an aggressive duel behavior. As in the promotion to the Bundesliga in 2015, the lilies try to be safe in the last race, accept every single challenge without compromise and then switch quickly. In the front, it must be a standard situation if necessary. In the offensive, however, there are still problems: Already in the last second half, only 20 goals. Coach Dirk Schuster has to renounce the start of two players: Felix plate is still injured, new signing Marcel Heller resigns his restraining from the preseason. In preparation, the lilies were able to win all friendly matches with the exception of the 1-1 draw against Premier League club Huddersfield. The lilies have not defeated eleven league games, could win the three games before the season even all. This series must be considered for the game Darmstadt against Paderborn at a tip safely.
Paderborn:
The history of the SC Paderborn is certainly remarkable: At the end of the season 2015/16, the club had to descend from the 2nd Bundesliga. A year later, the club was close to the crash in the Regionalliga and was as good as broke. Only thanks to the compulsory decrease of the Munich lions the SCP was allowed to stay in the 3rd league. With just under four million euros in emergency aid, the club was saved from bankruptcy. Shortly before Steffen Baumgart was already committed as coach, who led the club in the past season in the 2nd Bundesliga. With 14 points ahead of third place, Ost-Westfalen took second place in league 3 at the end of last season. Coach Baumgart’s team also set a new offensive record for the third league with 90 goals in 38 games.
Ten players left the SCP before the season, but hardly any of them. With ten new entries, the squad was refilled. Among them are players like Uwe Hünemeier, Bernard Tekpetey, Mohamed Dräger, Klaus Gjasula, Julius Düker, Tobias Schwede and Sebastian Vasiliadis. The test games showed that Paderborn is well recorded, is on the right track and has plenty of quality in the squad. The promoted had to accept the defeat in the preparation with the 2: 3 against the English second division Norwich City. The AS Monaco could be beaten 3: 2. At the dress rehearsal for the league start there was a 3: 0 against Magdeburg. In the test matches the coach played in 4-1-3-2. In the squad of East-Westphalia, each position is filled several times. At the start Miss Massih Wassey probably only. Paderborn has not lost since 16 competitive matches.
