Darmstadt take on the visitors Holstein Kiel in the round 13 match of German Bundesliga2. The match will be played on Friday, October 21th at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor (Darmstadt).
Darmstadt want to do better than last season. The “Lilies” in the middle of the last decade were able to spend a couple of years in a row in the German football club “elite”. In the last draw, there were very good chances to return there, but in the end, 3rd place was lost to Hamburg by additional indicators. And to Werder, which finished 2nd, the distance was only 1 victory. It is clear that now, with a new mentor, Torsten Lieberknecht, it turns out to qualify for a direct ticket "to the top." The defeat was only in the 1st round, and then it was compensated by a series of victories. Yes, then the team often played in a draw, but in the autumn they picked up the pace again. 2-1 with Karlsruhe became the 4th win of the Bundesliga 2 in a row and then Borussia (Moenchengladbach) was knocked out in the cup!

Holstein rolled back to the middle of the Bundesliga 2 standings. The “Storks”, if we exclude very old results such as the championship in 1912, were able to remind themselves in recent years. First, they managed to return to the Bundesliga 2. Then there was a memorable exit to the semi-finals of the 2021 Cup, with a simultaneous reach of 3rd place. But in the play-offs then the club lost. And then he began to lose ground. In the last championship, the team rolled back to 9th place. And it is unlikely that now the wards of Marcel Rapp will be able to achieve much more. True, in the summer there were quite decent statistics, in August Hallstein won a lot. But then there was a streak of a couple of defeats with a couple of draws. And only on October 9th it turned out to win in Nuremberg 3-2. Building on their success, in the last round they also defeated Heidenheim 3-1.
Of the last 8 head-to-heads Darmstadt in regular time was able to win in half of the meetings, 4. Holstein have only 1 success, 2-0 last January at the Lilies. Holstein revives, but not enough to claim points on the division leader's field. We recommend betting on the victory of Darmstadt.
Prediction for the match: Darmstadt to win.
