Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Sunday’s football game at Jahnstadion Regensburg pits together Regensburg and Darmstadt, the two teams with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. The rock-bottom hosts are desperate to secure the 2. Bundesliga survival, while the Lilywhites are eyeing promotion to the German top flight. As Regensburg experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Karlsruher, home win should not be considered. Adding to their woes, all Ernst, Meyer, Ochojski, Saller, Schmidt, and Schonfelder are out of contention with injuries.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 5-1 crushing of Kaiserslautern and we predict that they will take advantage of Regensburg’s shaky defence as well. The likes of Holland, Will, and Bader are out of contention through injuries for the visiting team, while Sweden forward Isac Lidberg should recover in time to face the relegation-threatened hosts.
