SV Darmstadt 98

SV Darmstadt 98 came back from two goals down to draw 2-2 against Hertha Berlin last week, but that was not the result they wanted. A win there would’ve seen them climb to the top of 2.Bundesliga, so they now have to try harder to make up for those lost points.

Now, here’s an interesting fact – SV Darmstadt 98 is unbeaten in 10 straight games in 2.Bundesliga. That’s the longest unbeaten series of all, which tells you how solid they are. Three of their last four matches ended in draws, which isn't great, but still.

Also, SV Darmstadt 98 scored at least twice in each of their last four league games, so their attack is performing well.

And finally, SV Darmstadt 98 is the best home team in 2.Bundesliga, undefeated since the start of the season (seven wins, three draws). They won all of their last four home games, scoring 10 goals along the way.

Kaiserslautern

Kaiserslautern won only once in their last five 2.Bundesliga games, and it looks like they are running out of steam competing with the top sides.

In the last round, they were convincingly beaten 1-3 at home by SV Elversberg, recording their fourth straight 2.Bundesliga match with over 2.5 goals scored.

Kaiserslautern’s recent away performances have been poor, with the team failing to win any of their last four away trips and drawing three times.

Kaiserslautern received a major blow last weekend. Their top scorer, Ivan Prtajin, with 11 goals scored so far, ruptured his Achilles tendon and will be out of the team for months. He was irreplaceable in Kaiserslautern’s attack so far, so we will see how they cope without him.

The club reacted pretty quickly after that unfortunate news and signed Mergim Berisha from TSG Hoffenheim, who had not had much of a chance to play for the Bundesliga side so far this season.

The Betting Verdict

SV Darmstadt 98 have won their last two duels against Kaiserslautern in Darmstadt, with their latest ending in a 5-1 home win.

SV Darmstadt 98 is in better form overall, so I think they are closer to winning here, but they have drawn too many matches lately.

Kaiserslautern has also drawn many of their recent away games, so this could be a tricky game, because they are also under increased pressure.

I expect an open game here, and instead of backing a winner, I would go with both teams to score at fair odds.

The Pick :

BEST BETTING TIP :

Take both teams to score: YES at odds of 1.57 at Bet365
