Hamburger SV vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting tips
What were the headlines, as the HSV in May 2018 as the last founding member of the Bundesliga after almost 55 years for the first time from the House of Lords descended. But as is often the case, it was only a short quake before everything returned to normal daily business. In the first second division season, the HSV missed the re-emergence conceivable and today scarcely anyone talks about what happened just over a year ago.
This does not change the fact that the desire to return to the Bundesliga is still great and for those responsible, their own, but also a large number of neutral fans, it is only a matter of time until the Dino returns to the upper house, because he belongs there for most of them.
In the preseason, the red roses were among the bet providers the absolute top favorite on the rise. This is different this year and maybe that will benefit the hamburgers as well. On the first match day, the kickers from the north will be dealing with Darmstadt 98 anyway. And at the last home game against the lilies, the red roses have not good memories – as well as the opening game last season. And yet another, somewhat curious aspect ensures that you should be careful in the game between HSV and Darmstadt with the forecast for a tip on the favorite with the bookmakers home side.
HSV:
Several match balls awarded the HSV last season in terms of promotion. Considering that in the end the Rothosen missed only one point on the second and third place and HSV did not win a single game between the 26th and the 33rd matchday (five defeats), then one can imagine as a neutral observer as it must have battled in the followers of the hamburgers who would have loved to see their team back in the upper house. But so the HSV has to make a fresh start and is now in the second season in the 2nd Bundesliga. Among the betting operators HSV is seen in second place, as far as the favorites for promotion – behind the VfB Stuttgart and before Nuremberg and Hannover.
In terms of transfers at HSV was a lot going on. Eleven players have already moved safely to the Elbe, of which Sonny Kittel (Ingolstadt), Lukas Hinterseer, Jan Gyamerah (both Bochum), Jeremy Dudziak (St. Pauli) and Adrian Fine (loan from Bayern Munich II) came free transfer. For David Kinsombi (Kiel), Ewerton, Tim Leibold (both Nuremberg), Berkay Özcan (VfB Stuttgart), goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes (Darmstadt) and Timo Letschert (Sassuolo) paid the Northmen, however, nearly ten million.
With Arsenal U17 national player Xavier Amaechi the king transfer is still out, but according to consistent media reports, but already in dry cloths. The HSV is thus armed and has committed with Dieter Hecking a coach who belongs to the greats of the scene in Germany. Altogether one can therefore also the nine disposals in the form of, among others, Douglas Santos (for 12 million euros to Zenit St. Petersburg), Jann-Fiete Arp (for 3 million euros to Bayern Munich), Pierre-Michel Lasogga (free to Al-Arabi) or Filip Kostic (for 6 million euros firmly to Eintracht Frankfurt) cope.
The preparation was passable, even if from the point of view of the Hamburger they would have liked to win one or the other. Because the 8: 0 against the Meiendorfer SV and the 13: 1 against TSV Buchholz were befitsgemäße success, while you could not win in the three real endurance tests. However, a 1-1 draw against Olympiakos Piraeus, a narrow 1-0 defeat by Huddersfield Town and a 2-1 reverse over RSC Anderlecht are not the worst of the scoreline. Everything starts at zero again on Sunday. And if you believe in the game of HSV against Darmstadt the odds, then the tip on the red roses is the victorious.
Darmstadt:
The SV Darmstadt 98 has its second year 2nd Bundesliga already behind and finished the preseason as well as the previous in tenth place. Ambitions to return to the Bundesliga, the lilies are not very big given the strong field of participants, but want to play this time again a greater role than in the two seasons before.
Above all, one wants to have early peace in Darmstadt, after the lilies had to fight in the last two seasons, partly to the last match day for the league. On the sideline is Dimitrios Grammozis, the man who took over Darmstadt in March 2019 in 13th place and led with six wins and two draws on the remaining eleven matchdays to safe league whereabouts.
With the preparation of the Greeks might have been reasonably satisfied. After the three victories against the amateurs of RW Darmstadt (9: 0), Münster 1919 (8: 0) and Alemannia Haibach (7: 0), none of the three subsequent games was won, but the lilies also presented themselves at 1: 2 against Feyenoord Rotterdam, 1: 1 against Werder Bremen and 0: 1 against Vitesse Arnhem in good condition.
Even at Darmstadt, the player carousel turned neat, if not quite as intense as the upcoming opponent. So far, there were also nine players, for the Darmstadt but not even a million left. Patric Pfeiffer (HSV), Braydon Manu (Halle), Tim Skarke (Heidenheim), Marcel Schuhen (Sandhausen), Dario Dumic (Utrecht) and Mathias Honsak (Red Bull Salzburg, last on loan to Kiel) are probably the most prominent names among the Be newcomers.
On the departure side is certainly the name of Keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes, who switched to the upcoming HSV opponent, who will be the most painfully missed. He is also the only one who flushed money into the coffers. Beside him Sandro Sirigu, Max Grün and Slobodan Medojevic left the club. Last season, Darmstadt was the second-weakest away team, taking only four wins in 17 away matches. However, the lilies took three of these four away threes in the last five away games under Grammozis – starting with the one in Hamburg. In this respect, in the game of Darmstadt at HSV can think about a high odds tip in the direction of the guests.
