Darmstadt vs Greuther Furth Match Preview

After a 2-0 defeat against Karlsruher in the resumption of 2.Bundesliga, Darmstadt got two back-to-back wins over St Pauli and Erzgebirge Aue, scoring 7 goals in total. So now, their hopes for a place in the top three of the standings are still alive, since they have a 4-point distance from the 3rd position.

Both defenders I. Höhn and Mathias Wittek are still not available, and the hosts will be lined up with the same starting eleven for a third consecutive game.

On the other hand, Goiter Firth is having a winless streak of three games since the resumption of the league and their hopes for promotion are now pretty slight, since they are 9 points away from the top three spots. In their most recent game, they faced a 2-0 home defeat to Osnabruck.

Two are the important missings for the away team, the Norwegian striker H. Nielsen and defender M. Mavraj are unavailable.

Although the side of the Greek-German coach D. Grammozis has so far 8 draws in 14 games this season at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor, they've shown a significant improvement and a remarkable efficiency on the attack in their last three outings. I will go with the hosts here, since they are facing an opponent who seems to be much weaker after the resumption of the league. Home to win is my call, with the offered odds being quite decent at 2.15.
