Matchday 4 of the 2nd Bundesliga: all important information

Hamburger SV – SV Darmstadt 98

The match day starts, among other things, with the cracker duel between Hamburger SV and Darmstadt 98. On Friday at 18:30 kick-off is in the Volksparkstadion in the Hanseatic city of Hamburg.

After 4 years in the 2nd league, the promotion to the 1st Bundesliga should finally work. But they started well with a victory in Braunschweig. After a defeat against Rostock, however, they were able to win the next games and also move on in the DFB Cup with difficulties against SpVgg Bayreuth. Most recently, they won in the league 2x to zero. With 9 points and a goal difference of +4, they are in 4th place, but level on points with the league leader from Paderborn, who can show a goal difference of +7. The opponent from Darmstadt is in 3rd place with a goal difference of +4. So far, HSV can convince especially in the defensive, they conceded only one goal. However, they only scored 5 goals, which is the worst value in the top 10. The last meeting should have left the Hamburg in good memory, in Darmstadt they won 5-0, already after 13 minutes it was 3-0 from the point of view of HSV. Overall, it is after victories 9:4 for the North Germans. Missing: Suhonen, Jatta and Amaechi.

The Darmstadt team also fought for promotion in the previous season, but ultimately missed it. Now it should be different and after four match days you are also in 3rd place. This required three wins in a row against Sandhausen, Braunschweig and most recently a 4-0 win against Rostock. Only on the first matchday they lost 0:2 in Regensburg, also in the DFB-Pokal they could easily prevail against third-division Ingolstadt with 3:0. Recently, the offensive was particularly convincing, but it may be waited to see whether the Hamburg key can also be cracked (1 goal conceded in 4 games). The guests are missing Honsak, Isherwodd, Karic and Riedel.

The game is difficult to predict. You will see how the balance of power behaves, but HSV has the lower odds with 2.00, Darmstadt has a victory rate of 3.30. So far, both teams have not played a draw and Darmstadt scores an average of over 2 goals per game, which makes a bet particularly exciting. That HSV or Darmstadt wins and scores over 2.5 goals, there is a tempting odds of 1.83.

SC Paderborn 07 – Holstein Kiel

On Saturday at 13:00 in the Home-Deluxe-Arena in Paderborn kick-off between the championship leader Paderborn and the guest from Kiel.

Due to the best goal difference, Paderborn is in 1st place in the table, but closely followed by a large number of clubs. Due to a strong offensive they won 3 out of 4 games so far, only against Dusseldorf they drew with 1:2 the shorter. Last week there was a 1:0 on the Betzenberg against Kaiserslautern. At home they scored 9 goals in two games. The direct comparison also speaks for the landlords. Out of 16 games they won 7, Kiel 4. In March they won furiously with 4:3 in Kiel. Ofori, Klefisch and Klaas are missing from the Paderborners.

Kiel would like to keep an eye on the top places in the table this season, which has so far also been achieved with 5th place. They started with 2x 2:2 against Fürth and Kaiserslautern and were eliminated from the DFB-Pokal against third-division Mannheim. Afterwards they could win against the two newcomers Magdeburg and Braunschweig. With Holtby, Komenda and Theskar missing several important players in the squad injured.

In addition to the form, the home strength speaks especially for the landlords. Therefore, the 1.72 odds for a victory of the Paderborner tempting, Kiel stands at a 4.00 odds. There is a higher odds if the hosts score more than 2.5 goals in a victory, here there is an exciting 2.30 odds.
