SC Freiburg

SC Freiburg warmed up for this game with a dominant 4-0 win over Mainz in the Bundesliga last weekend. They put on a stellar performance in that match, dominating the entire game.

I doubt SC Freiburg will catch Europe next season, but they are a stable Bundesliga side, playing without any pressure, which should bring them many positive results. They are taking this competition seriously and are likely to field a strong lineup against SV Darmstadt 98.

In favour of SC Freiburg is that they are unbeaten in their last five matches at home, winning three and drawing twice.

They have also remained unbeaten in their last two duels against SV Darmstadt 98 in the Bundesliga season 2023/24, drawing 1-1 at home and winning 0-1 in Darmstadt.

SV Darmstadt 98

SV Darmstadt 98 is sixth in the 2.Bundesliga, going unbeaten in four matches (two wins, two draws). They showed a bit of a weak performance last weekend in the goalless draw against SV Elversberg, but they should feel confident in this game.

Still, they will have to play without their Scottish striker Fraser Hornby, who has been one of their top players this season. He has scored four goals and provided five goal assists, but got injured in the last game and is now unavailable.

SV Darmstadt 98 have been more reliable at home than on away grounds this season. At away stadiums, they have drawn twice, won twice, and lost twice in their last six trips.

The Betting Verdict

SV Darmstadt 98 is a decent second-division side, but quality should prevail in this match.

SC Freiburg are at their strongest at home, unbeaten in five games, and I expect them to win this game, though it should be close.

The Pick :

SC Freiburg 1-0 SV Darmstadt 98
