Paderborn vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting tips
As a newcomer before a new season in the normal case is primarily the goal: relegation. In the new league, you have to find your way around the strong competition first and is happy in the beginning for every win and every point. Not infrequently, the style of play in a newly promoted is designed for the fight and defensive. A prime example is currently in the second division of the FC Magdeburg. The fact that things are different, however, proves the SC Paderborn. There, promotion coach Steffen Baumgart has managed to transfer the offensive hurray football from league three into the lower house and also there to succeed. Results such as 5: 3, 4: 4, 3: 3 or 5: 1 are commonplace in East Westphalia. Whether the spectators in the Benteler Arena on Sunday against Darmstadt 98 expected a similar fireworks at gates, must wait. The lilies and Dirk Schuster namely the stark counter-concept and rely on a strict defensive tactic. With excitement, the kick-off is expected to take place on Sunday at 12:30. We have in the pairing Paderborn vs.. Darmstadt a hint with passable odds ready and think that the brisk newcomer will secure the three points. In the following we will discuss both teams in detail and will substantiate this assumption with arguments.
Paderborn:
36 goals after 17 matchdays – and as a starter. Only the equally furious 1. FC Cologne scored even more goals in league two than the SC Paderborn. But the whole truth also includes the many goals conceded (28). Nevertheless, one must praise the courage and style of play of East Westphalia. Steffen Baumgart has taught the players his game philosophy and they usually implement them very well. Without a few unnecessary point losses in the closing stages, the sports club would be in direct contact with the promotion places. Even so, the club is facing a very calm and therefore good second half. There is hardly anything left to burn down and there were no ambitions to go up and down anyway.
At the end of the first round last weekend at home SG Dynamo Dresden was defeated 3-0. Thus, the Ostwestfalen are still unbeaten in the domestic Benteler Arena. This series will last beyond the winter break, which is why the team against Darmstadt as always put everything in the balance. Especially at home, there is only one direction for the sports club, which is why the Hintermannschaft from Darmstadt is facing a busy Sunday afternoon. In the offensively designed and proven 4-1-3-2 there will be hardly any changes compared to the previous week.
Darmstadt:
The SV Darmstadt 98 comes in the table somehow not really off the spot. With 19 points, you are in the no-man’s-land of the table and have to orientate yourself after the last few weeks without a win. On three defeats, which were admitted against well-known competitors (Union, Cologne, Bochum), jumped against Ingolstadt and in Aue last only a draw. The lilies will be happy about the soon-to-be winter break to regroup and build on the meantime good form.
Coach Dirk Schuster is known for his teams attaching great importance to a stable defense. The many goals conceded in recent games are out of line and can rarely be offensively compensated. Ironically, now stands the duel against the variable offensive of SC Paderborn. The guests have to work very attentively against the ball, in order to put pinpricks again and again with striker Serdar Dursun. A point win would certainly be a success for the Hessians and with 20 points in the account would be a more pleasant winter break before, as if there is another defeat.
