SV Darmstadt 98

Four points from their last five games should be enough for SV Darmstadt 98 to retain their 2.Bundesliga status before rebuilding for next season.

They have played well in the last couple of weeks, winning against Greuther Furth 1-0 and drawing last week against Hertha Berlin 1- 1. A win in either this or next week’s game against lowly Preussen Munster will likely seal their status, so things look bright for SV Darmstadt 98.

What’s been most impressive is how well they played at home lately, which likely saved them in the league. SV Darmstadt 98 won all their last three home games against Schalke 04, Karlsruher SC, and Greuther Furth without even conceding.

Hannover 96

It looks like Hannover 96 is collapsing in the battle for the third Bundesliga promotion playoff spot. They failed to win any of their last three 2.Bundesliga matches, losing twice. They didn’t show much last week in the match against SV Elversberg, losing 1-3 at home.

Regarding away play, Hannover 96 went unbeaten in five away games in a row (three wins, two draws) before losing their most recent away match against Karlsruher SC 1-0.

The Betting Verdict

SV Darmstadt 98 has an excellent recent record against Hannover 96, beating them four times in their last six duels, drawing once, and losing once. They also beat them in Hannover this season, 1-2, last November.

This should be an open game with many chances, and the recommended bet here is taking both teams to score.

The Pick :

SV Darmstadt 98 1-2 Hannover 96
