SV Sandhausen - SV Darmstadt 98

Sandhausen has 20 Points on their side and they are looking forward to remain in 2.BL and go into their 4th year there. For this they have to collect some more Points above all before the break that the pressure is getting not to big if the season starts again in February. According to table situation they are only 5 Points ahead of the red zone and this is not much at the moment, a bad run can turn things around immediately. Their opponent is one of the surprise teams this season beside Ingolstadt. After Darmstadt got promoted in two incredible games against Bielefeld they are doing a great job there. The team is close to the top with 29 Points and can with a win climb up to second place what is amazing. After a long run without a win away from home they got the first one last weekend against bottom team St. Pauli. Of course they want to continue and go for the next one after 6 draws and only 1 defeat on the road.

After 3 successful games with 5 Points Sandhausen’s Coach Schwartz plans not many changes if system or personal. Only on the left back wing he has to change as with Paqaranda is a player unavailable suspended. This means that he has to search for the right replacement as with Achenbach is the next player injured not ready. The candidates are Kister, Knoll and Pfertzel for this position but the experience speaks clear for Pfertzel here. Some more options are in the squad as with Jovanovic returns a striker after long injury time but he is on bench first also Adler is on bench but a great option for the game in running.

It would be not a big surprise if Coach Schuster trusts his successful eleven from Hamburg who managed the first away win. For the injured Kempe who is out for the rest of the year played Ivana there on the wing and he made his job well. For him can play also youngster Biada and Sirigu but it is not need and in this case Schuster wants to change as less as he can and allow his well balanced team a good feeling as all know what to do.

I expect a close match here, both teams are hard to play. Sandhausen lost only 1 of the last 7 and at home they are much stronger as on the road. Of course Darmstadt is high flying but on the road they won only 1 from 8, this was last weekend when they beat St. Pauli 1-0 but they showed nothing special in this game and it was only due to a big fault from Pauli’s defender Sobiech who allowed them the winning goal. On the other side they are hard to beat with only 1 defeat on the road but they never were favorite on the road and against a hard fighting Sandhausen I doubt that they should be favorite here. For this reason I have to take the home side …… 

Recommend Bet: SV Sandhausen AHC +0,25 @ 1,88 (3 Units)
