SV Elversberg
SV Elversberg’s record so far is two draws and a defeat, so they will look to break that with a win against SV Darmstadt 98.
SV Elversberg played well in their last game against Karlsruher SC. Although they lost 3-2, their battling display did not disappoint. It is a matter of time before they win, and perhaps this game will be a turning point for them.
SV Elversberg is currently on a run of five winless matches, but more worryingly, they conceded at least twice in six of their last seven league games.
Their most recent duel against SV Darmstadt 98 dates from October 2023, when they lost 4-2 in a friendly match.
SV Darmstadt 98
SV Darmstadt 98 finds playing in the 2.Bundesliga equally difficult as playing in the Bundesliga. After dropping out of the German Bundesliga last May, SV Darmstadt 98 is still transitioning.
So far, they have lost back-to-back matches against Fortuna Dusseldorf and SC Paderborn and drew 1-1 against Nurnberg last week. They played well in their last game and dominated against Nurnberg, but their opponents still snatched a point off them.
SV Darmstadt 98’s coach, Torsten Lieberknecht, is still looking to strengthen the team, but time is running out, and they are unlikely to make massive changes. They struggled with finances last season and are still not powerful in that area, so a quick return to the Bundesliga is out of the question.
The Betting Verdict
SV Elversberg looks like a solid mid-table 2.Bundesliga team to me, although they started below expectations.
The same applies to SV Darmstadt 98, who conceded six goals in their three games so far and largely disappointed their fans with three straight winless games.
Minor details will likely decide the outcome of this game, but I would go with SV Elversberg to win at valuable odds.
