MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN
Darmstadt’s unbeaten run
came to an end against Bochum at home last weekend. After winning their last
two home matches in a row without conceding a single goal they suffered their
first defeat in front of their own fans. Although they took the lead early in
first half they lost by two late goals from Bochum in the end. This result came
as a surprise, considering that they had won three and drawn one of their first
four league matches beforehand, and they will be in for a fight here in order
to return to winning ways in an attempt to close the three-gap between
themselves and league leaders Dusseldorf.
Bielefeld are in a similar
situation. They registered three wins and one draw in the first four games of
the season but were completely outplayed by newly promoted Duisburg last time
out, losing 4-0. Their defence was just poor and clearly cost them as three of
the four goals were conceded due to individual mistakes.
Bielefeld’s last result
could of course only be a blip, but the result is likely to have had an effect
on their confidence while Darmstadt’s squad is of much better quality. Home
win.
SECOND PREDICTION: FIRST TEAM TO SCORE – DARMSTADT
Despite losing at home last
time out, Darmstadt were the first to score and have in fact recorded the first
goal of the match in their last three home games. Expect the same to happen
here.
HEAD TO HEAD
Darmstadt’s all-time home
record against Bielefeld in 2.Bundesliga consists of three wins and two draws.
