A Sports Betting Pick by Niko

SV Darmstadt 98
SV Darmstadt 98 are right in the thick of the Bundesliga promotion race, sitting level on 50 points with Hannover 96, and their home form is a big reason why.
They have been extremely strong in Darmstadt, with the best home record in 2.Bundesliga of 10 wins and 4 draws in 14 games!
That said, their recent form isn’t spotless. They are winless in three, drawing twice, against Schalke 04 and Magdeburg, and shockingly losing 2-1 to Arminia Bielefeld last week.
Still, this is a side that creates chances consistently and rarely blanks at home, so even when they are not at their best, they tend to stay competitive.
Hannover 96
Hannover 96 comes into this in similarly strong overall shape, and their numbers deserve respect.
Hannover 96 remained unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 games in 2.Bundesliga, and are unbeaten on the road in four straight games (three straight wins and a draw).
They have also been scoring consistently, and importantly, they have found the net in every away match this season, which tells you they travel well and don’t just sit back.
The Betting Verdict
This feels like one of those games where both sides get their moments. SV Darmstadt 98 are tough to handle at home, but Hannover 96 travel well and usually find a goal, so it’s hard to see either side fully on top.
Both teams to score looks the most natural play here, with goals on both ends more likely than one side shutting things down.
The Pick :
SV Darmstadt 98 1-1 Hannover 96
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take both teams to score: YES at odds of 1.50 at BetFred
