Darmstadt take on the visitors Hannover in the round 15 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, November 4th at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor (Darmstadt)
Darmstadt could have been in the fight for promotion already last season. The "Lilies" have already relatively recently been in the 1st Bundesliga of the country - for the first time in more than 3 decades. After holding out there for 2 seasons, the club collapsed, and started again with the status of a middle peasant in a weaker division. As a result, in the last draw it was already 4th place, and they lost to Hamburg only in additional indicators. Now they want to fight for a direct pass to the German elite, that is, for a position no lower than 2nd. And this is what Thorsten Lieberknecht's wards generally succeed in. After the 0-2 defeat to Regensburg, The Lilies had a long streak of success. Only St. Pauli in his native Hamburg was able to pull out at least 1-1 with the leader of the season.

Hannover gradually turned into the mid-table side of the Bundesliga 2. The Reds a decade ago, in 2011 and 2012, managed not only to play in the Europa League, but also to climb into the playoffs there, leaving the group. But rather quickly after that, the glorious team went to the Bundesliga 2. At first, they managed to climb back, but only for a year, but then the glorious club was stuck in the 2nd division. In the last draw, it was already 11th place, that is, a position below the "equator" of the final table. At the same time, in the new cycle, having stalled at the start (a draw with St. Pauli with a couple of defeats), the team took 5 wins with a single draw with Eintracht (Braunschweig). Yes, in October there were defeats to Hamburg and Heidenheim, as well as relegation from the cup. But at the same time, they managed to defeat Arminia, take a goalless draw in Nuremberg. And 1-0 with Karlsruhe helped to gain a foothold in 5th place.
Hannover have only managed to win once in last 10 head-to-heads meetings - notably on the road, in the last calendar year. But after that, Darmstadt took 7 out of 9 possible points in confrontations. Hannover are not bad now, but they need to play with the division leader away. We bet on the victory of the "Lilies”.
Prediction for the match: Darmstadt to win.
