Darmstadt vs Sandhausen Prediction & Betting tips
Why does almost every soccer coach answer the question of how much importance he attaches to statistics with: “Not much”? The answer is pretty clear. On the one hand, certain series are created simply by chance and are therefore of no importance for future games.
On the other hand, statistics can always be read either way. Current example: Darmstadt 98 and SV Sandhausen meet on Sunday in the German House of Commons, where the betting base provides tips for all second division games.
With the lilies, it reads excellently that the team has been unbeaten since the beginning of December and, including friendly matches, hasn’t lost nine times in a row. This record of a top team quickly becomes a bad omen if you look at it from a different perspective.
Only one of the last seven competitive games has been won and the last home win dates from October 2019 – that sounds more like a relegation candidate. It becomes clear how dangerous a superficial look at such facts can be.
As so often, the truth is somewhere in the middle, which is why the Hessians are also in the middle of the league 2 table. The duel with SV Sandhausen is on the program on Sunday and the various bookmakers, all of whom exclusively offer bonus offers for the betting base, are of the opinion that the hosts have minimal favorites in this game.
Darmstadt :
Darmstadt 98 is unbeaten in 2020 and yet the atmosphere was really liberated only after the last weekend. Five draws in a row caused the lilies to stagnate in the table and the long-awaited three in Dresden was immensely important to keep a direct competitor in the table cellar at a distance and to give yourself a little buffer.
With 27 points, the lead over relegation place 16 is six points and between Darmstadt and Sandhausen it is possible to predict that a threesome of the home side would be a huge step towards relegation. The 30 point mark would have been broken and the curse at home would also be broken. At home things are not going as well as expected.
Only one game since the beginning of August was won in October and otherwise there were above all numerous point divisions. After the victory in Dresden, which remains with great certainty despite Dynamo’s objection, there is now high hope that the goat will be knocked over at home and that the team of coach Dimitrios Grammozis will return to winning ways.
With the exception of Mathias Wittek, the coach can draw on staff from the full and thus has a few tactical options. After the success in Saxony, however, there is hardly any reason to make major changes to the starting formation. The players go into the match on Sunday after the midweek test against regional league Bayern Alzenau was canceled due to the low storm “Sabine”.
Sandhausen:
Two things can be clearly seen in the odds comparison of the betting base. On the one hand, the different bookmakers are expecting a narrow gameplay in this game and the teams will be assessed similarly strong, which is understandable in the tabular neighborhood duel.
On the other hand, rather few hits are expected, which is also understandable. After the nine games without defeat, the SVS not only lost twice in a row last but also remained without a goal. The offensive engine of Uwe Koschinat’s team stutters. Goalkeeper Kevin Behrens scored twice at the start of the second half of the season in Osnabrück, but was ultimately unable to put a stamp on the game.
Coach Koschinat rightly noted that his charges felt how difficult it is in League 2 to come back after a deficit. The black and whites had both more possession of the ball, better tackles and more successful passes both in Nuremberg (0-2) and against Heidenheim (0-1), but in the end the earnings were missing.
Now the weeks of truth are coming, as after Darmstadt against KSC, St. Pauli and Bochum there are still three other teams from the lower half of the table to the point. It will be shown whether the troop from the Hardtwald will complete a quiet last third of the season or have to worry again about remaining in the league.
Between Darmstadt and Sandhausen, at least the forecast is certain that the guests will all put on the balance in order to “create the turnaround”, as her trainer said at the mandatory press conference on Thursday. He has to do without Markus Karl, Erik Zenga and Julius Biada, who are all out of action due to injuries.
