Darmstadt hosts Fortuna Dusseldorf in round 16 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, December 3rd at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor (Darmstadt)
Darmstadt made a powerful leap at the beginning of the last decade: in a couple of years, the team that was playing in the 3rd division managed to make its debut in the Bundesliga. After spending a couple of seasons there, the Lilies returned to the 2nd league and stayed there. The club did not rise above the 5th place, and in the spring, the Lilies finished 7th at all. But now, under the management of a new coach, Torsten Lieberknecht, Darmstadt has become a contender for leadership in the division. There were enough misfires at the start, but the Lilies managed to gain perfect momentum in the fall. Of the last seven opponents, only Holstein Kiel managed not to lose to Darmstadt at home. And all four previous rounds ended with victories. Such a streak allowed the Lilies to climb to the 2nd place.

Fortuna Dusseldorf played in the Bundesliga only a few years ago. But having left the elite division, the team could not return there immediately — in the 2020/2021 season, the Red-Whites managed to take only 5th place. And the degradation has continued. At first, the young Christian Preusser, who got the post of head coach in the summer, managed to get positive results with his team. But now the representative of Dusseldorf only occasionally pleases its fans. Especially in the last rounds: Fortuna earned only one point in the previous four matches due to a home draw against one of the outsiders of the current championship, Hannover. All other matches were lost, including 0-1 defeats to Dynamo Dresden and Heidenheim at the end of November.
These clubs played eight head-to-head matches, and Darmstadt won only once, in 2018. All the other games ended with the victory of Fortuna, and in the last draw, the club from Dusseldorf took the maximum points with this opponent. It seems that now is the time to rewrite history, as Fortuna is not shining right now. We bet on the victory of Darmstadt.
Prediction for the match: Darmstadt to win
