Prediction: 2-2
Koln
Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor will be the centre of attention when Darmstadt and Koln face each other in the 2. Bundesliga round 9. The Lilywhites played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Karlsruher before the international break and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Swedish forward Isac Lidberg, who has been scoring goals for fun of late, while the likes of Fabian Holland, Matthias Bader, Paul Will, and Christoph Zimmermann are out of contention with injuries.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Ulm and given their attacking potential, we are about to see goals galore at “Merck-Stadion”. The opposition back-line should have former Benfica forward Luca Waldschmidt at bay as the 28-year-old has found his goal-scoring touch of late. The likes of Uth, Ljubicic, Pentke, Christensen, and Kilian are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
