Darmstadt

LLLLWL

Darmstadt will be hoping to bounce back here after a 4-1 Bundesliga 2 losing effort in their last game against Magdeburg.

In that match, Darmstadt had 40% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target. The scorer for Darmstadt was Fraser Hornby (29'). On the other side, Magdeburg had 17 attempts on goal with 10 on target. Xavier Amaechi (56'), Livan Burcu (73'), Abu-Bekir El-Zein (78') and Martijn Kaars (81') scored for Magdeburg.

A recurring characteristic of more recent Darmstadt games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their previous sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a wager on BTTS would've been a loser.

Going into this encounter, Darmstadt have not lost a league tie with Karlsruhe in their last 4 matches.

Karlsruhe

LDLLWW 🌤

Karlsruhe go into this meeting after a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 win over Cologne in their most recent match.

In that match, Karlsruhe had 44% possession and 6 shots on goal with 1 on target. At the other end, Cologne had 11 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Timo Hübers (52' Own goal) scored for Cologne.

The numbers tell their own story, and Karlsruhe have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 10 goals overall. At the back, Karlsruhe seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Let’s find out if that trend can be sustained in this game.

Their prior results show that Karlsruhe:

• haven't beaten Darmstadt when they have played them away from home in the previous 2 league games.
• are without an away win for the past 3 matches in the league.

👥 Head to head

✨ Prediction

We believe that Karlsruhe would be disappointed if they were not to get a goal against this Darmstadt side, although that might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Darmstadt at the end of the 90 minutes. There looks to be little in this one.
