Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Darmstadt will look to register their first league win of the season when they host Eintracht Braunschweig to their Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor in Saturday’s matinee. The Lilywhites are desperate to pick up all three points from the match and they are likely to go all guns blazing at die Lowen. Midfielder Luca Marseiler is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven, whilst the likes of Paul Will, Matthias Bader, Oscar Vilhelmsson, and Fabian Holland continue to miss out with injuries.
Eintracht Braunschweig, on the other hand, are on a five-game losing run in all competitions. As the visitors are eager to get back on course in 2. Bundesliga as well, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. The likes of Marko Johansson, Sidi Sane, and Tino Casali are sidelined with injuries for the visiting side this time out.
Highlighted Team (Darmstadt):
SV Darmstadt 98 are a professional football club that compete in the German Bundesliga. Darmstadt were founded in 1898 and the club’s original name was FC Olympia Darmstadt. In 1905 the club changed its’ name to Sportvererien Darmstadt 98. Die Lilien (The Lilies) play their home games at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor and the capacity of the ground is 17,000.
After spending 33 years in lower leagues, Darmstadt competed in the German Bundesliga in the 2015/2016 campaign, with the team finishing the season in 14th place in the standings, just two points clear of the relegation zone. Die Lilien wear blue shirts and white shorts and their main rivals are Kickers Offenbach.
The likes of Bruno Labbadia, Gino Lettieri, Zivojin Juskic, Kosta Runjaic, Lothar Buchmann are some of the most famous coaches that used to be in charge of the team in the past. It has to be noted that Darmstadt have won the Hesse Cup seven times (1966, 1999, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2013).
