MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Darmstadt have the joint worst away record in Germany’s second tier, picking up just nine points on their travels. However, the Lilies have been far more competitive at home where they have taken 23 points so far, from seven wins, two draws and four losses. Dimitrious Grammozis’ men have won three and lost just one of their last four league fixtures at Bollenfalltor. They sit nine points above the drop zone in 12th place after beating second-placed Hamburg 3-2 on the road two weeks ago, despite being two goals down at the break.

Jahn Regensburg have been in good form since mid-February, winning two and drawing two of their last five league fixtures, along with only one loss. That 2-0 defeat came in the last league outing at home against Greuther Furth, which was a disappointing result for them. Achim Beierlorzer’s side are currently in eighth spot on 37 points and don’t have to worry about relegation. They have the third best record on the road having clinched five wins and five draws, along with three defeats in league action.

Going by Darmstadt’s great home form, they should be able to snatch all three points in this one - although it might be not be a straightforward win, given Jahn Regensburg’s strong results on the road.

SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE - DARMSTADT
Darmstadt have opened the scoring in their last two home league matches. I am backing the home team to score first in this clash, too.

HEAD TO HEAD
Darmstadt registered a 3-0 away win and 1-1 away draw against Jahn Regensburg in the league last year.
