Regensburg vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting tips
In the first round of the DFB Cup, a total of 64 teams will compete this week in order to win the DFB Cup in just under a year. Only few have realistic chances to achieve this goal. The SSV Jahn Regensburg and the SV Darmstadt 98, who meet at the Continental Arena in Regensburg on Saturday (12.08.), Will not be among the favorites. Nevertheless, we are expecting an extremely exciting part, because after all, the third league runners-up from Regensburg will meet the first league descendant from Darmstadt. The climb uphearted at the Jahn should have already gone after the miserable season start. Very different with the lilies, which have the direct re-envisioned in the eye and significantly better than the upcoming opponent in the new season have started. Psychologically, the Hesse should therefore be in the advantage and the squad is in our opinion better placed than the Regensburg, so we recommend a tip for the double chance X / 2.
Regensburg :
Two years ago the SSV Jahn Regensburg still played in the regional league and after a furious third league season already today in the 2nd Bundesliga again. The third place and the successful relegation of the TSV 1860 Munich after a 1: 1 draw in front of their own audience in Munich 2-0 was enough for the direct breakthrough. Successful Heiko Herrlich could not be held after this successful season and was replaced by the new Chefcoach Achim Beierlorzer. The objectives of the reds at the start of the season were high and the euphoria was great. After two unsuccessful days in the Lower House, however, everyone will be back on the ground and hope that the DFB Cup will be better than last.
The preparations for the Regensburg were still quite neat. After a defeat in the first test against 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 (1: 4) the SV Ried was able to win a 1: 1 draw in the match. After the victories against the U23 from Arsenal (5-0) and Augsburg seemed the world for the Jahn perfect and also in the league it should go so. But in the opening match with Arminia Bielefeld came the evil awakening. After 90 minutes a 1: 2 on the scoreboard and also in the home game against the 1. FC Nuremberg last weekend it was not enough to the first point. In the course of the game the 0: 1 defeat was perfectly appropriate, even if the combat performance was right. Beierlorzer then concluded that there is a need for more courage, self-esteem and less respect for the new league in order to be successful. So it remains to be seen whether his team takes these words to heart and can compete against Darmstadt for the first mandatory game win in the running season.
Darmstadt :
The SV Darmstadt rose two years ago in the first Bundesliga and stayed there two years. In the last season, however, the descent with a 7-4-23 score, a goal ratio of 28:63 and only 25 points was not avoidable. Chefcoach Torsten Frings, who took over the sports management of the lilies at the end of December 2016, could not change this either. The residue of the last of the tables on the saline bank was at the end of twelve. At the beginning of the new season, Torsten Frings insisted that his team quickly push the button and accept the new challenge in a very balanced league. Apparently, his team listened carefully to this announcement from their coach, because a successful preparation was followed by a decent season start.
In the five test matches the lilies remained undefeated. After two victorious matches against an amateur club as well as a regional league, the Czech first division FC Vysocła Jihlava (3-0) and the Austrian regionalligist SV Wallern (4: 3) were defeated. Only in the last test match against Fulham FC did the lily feathers leave and did not come out over a 2-2 draw. At the start of the new season in the German Unterhaus, the Frings-Elf met the SpVgg Greuther Fürth in front of their own audience and earned themselves a 1: 0 after an appealing performance. Also the 1. FC Kaiserslautern gave the sound of the Darmstädter, but went nevertheless with a residue into the half-time break. After a restart, the lilies were able to put another one on the ball and finally make up the gap. The joy about the point gained was slightly clouded, for there would have been more. Also Frings prangerte after the game the missing courage of his team, what should not happen again against Regensburg.
