Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Darmstadt will look to build on a thrilling 5-1 win over FC Koln when they take on Ulm in the 2. Bundesliga round 10. The Lilywhites have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Ulm. The opposition back-line should have Scottish attacker Fraser Hornby, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late. The likes of Christoph Zimmermann, Paul Will, Matthias Bader, and Fabian Holland miss out with injuries, while Klaus Gjasula is out of contention through illness.
Die Spatzen, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Karlsruher, but given Darmstadt’s excellent performance in the crushing of Koln, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting at the venue Darmstadt defeated Ulm 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
