Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
All eyes will be on Volksparkstadion when Hamburg and Darmstadt lock horns in the 2. Bundesliga derby on Sunday. Die Rothosen did well to beat Karlsruher 3-1 in their last league match, but they are still without key attacker Robert Glatzel, who remains on the sidelines with a tendon problem. Ludovit Reis and Valon Zumberi miss out with injuries as well.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, have been in a fine form of late, with the team winning three of their last four league matches, while sharing the spoils with Preussen Munster. As Darmstadt have been producing excellent displays on the road in recent weeks, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. In their last encounter in the German second tier the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. The likes of Christoph Zimmermann, Paul Will, Matthias Bader, and Fabian Holland are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
