SV Darmstadt 98

After winning three matches in a row, SV Darmstadt 98 dropped points in the latest 1-1 draw away at Holstein Kiel. They are now third in the 2.Bundesliga before this round, looking to bounce back with a win against the worst second-division side, Magdeburg.

One key factor in SV Darmstadt 98’s successes is their Swedish striker, Isac Lidberg. Last season, he was their leader with 14 goals, and he started this season equally impressive.

Lidberg has scored in each of the last five games for the team, leading with 8 goals! He is always a top bet for anytime goalscorer, if you are looking for such bets.

SV Darmstadt 98 must be considered big favorites here, considering they have not lost a single home game so far. In the 2.Bundesliga, they won three and drew once in four matches this season.

Magdeburg

Magdeburg is nailed at the bottom of 2.Bundesliga, almost certainly going to 3.Liga at the end of this season.

They lost all their last six 2.Bundesliga matches, and failed to score a single goal in any of their last four!

Magdeburg’s most recent 0-4 home defeat was the final straw that led to the sacking of their head coach, Markus Fiedler, who only lasted for eight matches.

The club is still searching for a solution, and until then, the U23 coaching duo, Petrik Sander and Pascal Ibold, will temporarily lead the team.

The Betting Verdict

I am surprised to see such high odds on SV Darmstadt 98 for this match.

Magdeburg has conceded twice or more in five of their last six defeats, haven’t scored in four games, and have a negative goal difference of -12 after just eight games!

On the other side, SV Darmstadt 98 is a Bundesliga contender, unbeaten at home, with a top striker in Isac Lidberg, looking to extend their unbeaten series to five consecutive games.

The betting choice is obvious – take SV Darmstadt 98 to win this game by scoring a couple of goals at least.
