MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN
Dusseldorf have been able
to keep their amazing winning streak going. They haven’t lost since mid
September, with their record amounting to eight wins, one draw and one defeat
so far in 2.Bundesliga. The team registered their fourth consecutive win at
Bielefeld last weekend, scoring one goal in either half without reply. Against fifth
placed Darmstadt, a side they have beaten twice in their last three league
encounters, the leaders are slight favourites at home.
However, in order to claim
a victory here, Dusseldorf will need to be convincing. After all, Darmstadt
have been quite efficient lately when playing away from home, losing just one
of their last four league matches and scoring five goals. However, the team are
coming off a 4-3 home defeat to Nurnberg – their second loss in a row overall.
This is a difficult match
to predict between two top teams, but I think that Dusseldorf’s good run will
end here. I will go with an away win.
SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE – DUSSELDORF
Dusseldorf should get off
the mark early with Rouwen Hennings most likely to score. Dusseldorf have a +6
goal difference from five games played at home and having netted the opener in
all of those games, I think they will score first here too.
HEAD TO HEAD
The previous two meetings between
these two in 2014-15 have resulted in two resounding wins for Dusseldorf – 2-0 at
home and 4-1 away.
