Holstein Kiel vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting tips
Which style of play prevails? This question is absolutely crucial, especially when betting on the number of goals. Using the example of the game Kiel vs. Darmstadt makes a prediction of many hits if the Kielers tie in with it the spectacular appearances from the Hin series.
If, on the other hand, the encounter is more like most of the lots of lilies from Hesse, then the spectators on the fjord on Wednesday evening are not offered as much spectacle. After a winter break, it is even more difficult to correctly assess the approach taken by both teams.
There are some new additions to the squad, players who return after injuries, players who have particularly recommended themselves in the training camp and also some names that are no longer in the starting eleven.
The start of the second half of the season is very important for the clubs and sets the direction for the rest of the season. Both teams will put everything on the scale on Wednesday to get off to a successful start. Between Kiel and Darmstadt, the odds for a tip on the winner are distributed in favor of the home team.
The bookmakers rate the KSV as a favorite and are most likely to count on a three-man lead. Whether this assessment is correct can be seen on Wednesday at 19:30 p.m. when the match in the Holstein Stadium starts.
Keel:
Holstein Kiel has quickly established itself in the House of Commons in recent years after advancing to League 2 and has even shown itself as a top team. This season the trend is showing a little downward again, because the North Germans did not spend the winter in the front half of the table.
Coach Ole Werner had to cope with some departures in the summer and injuries kept throwing the team back. Shortly before Christmas, for example, top striker Serra was missing and could not be adequately replaced. Without the attacker, the team will go into the home game against Darmstadt on Wednesday.
The club management was therefore active on the transfer market and drove Schalke Fabian Reese back to the fjord. The youngster did not get a chance at the Bundesliga club and is now to help the storks to move into the secure midfield as quickly as possible. The tabular situation is still very narrow and the relegation places are dangerously close.
A threesome at the start would therefore be an important step to be able to work in peace over the next few weeks. Between Kiel and Darmstadt, the forecast can be dared that the home side will not have bad cards if they can once again show their playful class against a home backdrop.
At home, the yield so far has been very poor since the Kiel team are the third weakest home team in league 2. This record can and should be improved against the team from Hessen.
Darmstadt :
Darmstadt 98 does not have much financial means to improve the squad in the short term because of the renovation of the stadium at Böllenfalltor. During the winter break, only a few young talents were included in the professional squad to be somewhat better positioned in terms of breadth. Otherwise, coach Stefanos Grammozis continues to trust his protégés that they can keep the class.
Before the start against Kiel, the coach stated that attacker and top scorer Serdar Dursun remained with the lilies until the end of the season. Otherwise, the club would have a large construction site that would have to be fixed in the last few days of the transfer window. The other problems that the team worked on during the winter break are clear.
The offensive is far too harmless, because with 20 meetings Darmstadt is the second worst attack department in the lower house. 25 goals on the other hand are absolutely fine, but they cannot compensate for the problems in the offensive area. The problem was again obvious during the dress rehearsal against a team from Romania.
The performance of the lilies was fine for over 90 minutes and the second division side hardly allowed any opponents chances at the back. In the attack, however, the few opportunities that arose were not used, and the result was a goalless 0-0 draw.
In terms of personnel, Trainer Grammozis can draw almost entirely on the full. Only Mathias Wittek is not available due to injury. New signing Rapp, who moved from Union Berlin to Hessen on loan, will probably not be in the starting XI yet.
From the point of view of the guests, success clearly depends on how much the offensive can increase. If this succeeds, then a tip on the odds of the guests between Kiel and Darmstadt is worth considering.
