SV Darmstadt 98
SV Darmstadt 98 quickly bounced back from the 1-0 league defeat against Schalke 04 by nailing the same opponent 4-0 at home in the DFB Cup. That win was very necessary for boosting their confidence, as they had failed to win any of their last three in 2.Bundesliga.
Now, SV Darmstadt 98 have an ideal chance to get closer to the top by beating Arminia Bielefeld. However, a stunning fact is that SV Darmstadt 98 have failed to win in any of their last six duels against their opponents, losing five times.
Still, let’s not forget that SV Darmstadt 98 is one of the three unbeaten teams at home so far, winning three and drawing two of their five home games.
Arminia Bielefeld
Last season’s cup finalists were not so fortunate this season, losing 2-1 to Union Berlin after extra time and dropping out of the competition last Wednesday. Now they can calmly focus on 2.Bundesliga, where they have struggled recently.
Arminia Bielefeld suffered four league defeats in a row before winning 2-0 against SV Elversberg last week. That odd win does not change the fact that they are a rather bad side this season.
Playing 120 minutes in the cup will certainly affect the side for this match, as their bench is not deep. They were visibly tired after the intense cup game against the Bundesliga side, so we will see how they respond here.
Truth is, Arminia Bielefeld were less than impressive on the road this season. They failed to win any of their last three away games, drawing once and losing their last two.
The Betting Verdict
SV Darmstadt 98 was terrific in their high cup win, and I think they will continue in the same way. Their coach rotated and welcomed back some players who were away during midweek, so they should be fresh and motivated here.
Arminia Bielefeld has been weak recently, and I doubt they can do much on this trip. Back SV Darmstadt 98 to get the three points at good odds.
