Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
A place in the German Cup round 3 will be at stake when Dynamo Dresden and Darmstadt square off against each other at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion on Wednesday evening. Dynamo Dresden defeated Hannover II in their last 3. Liga game, with substitutes Meissner and Batista Meier helping the team make a comeback. The duo is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team. Anyhow, expect an electrifying atmosphere at Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion as the venue will be packed.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Ulm. As Darmstadt have been having their ups and downs on the road this term, we are tempted to put our money on draw this time out. Speaking of the away team, all Klaus Gjasula, Christoph Zimmermann, Paul Will, Matthias Bader, and Fabian Holland are out of contention with injuries.
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.
