Darmstadt hosts Jahn Regensburg in round 1 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 24th at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor (Darmstadt)
At one time Darmstadt managed to break into the Bundesliga. In 2014 and 2015 they were able to gain two promotions in a row. And having made their debut in the top division, the Lilies even managed to take a rather serious 14th place. But in the next season, they were relegated to a lower tier. And at the already more familiar level, Darmstadt finished twice in 10th place. Then there was a rise to 5th position, but in 2021 the club lost ground and finished 7th. After losing a few interesting players such as Palsson and Dursun, the Lilies looked good in friendly matches, but most importantly, they got a new coach, Torsten Lieberknecht, who has been in charge of Eintracht Braunschweig for a dozen years and Duisburg for a couple of years.

Regensburg has been playing in the 2nd division of Germany for four years and is preparing for the 5th. The Red Shorts showed a great result in their first season and almost climbed into the elite division. In 2018 they managed to take 5th place. But every next year things got worse and worse (8th and 12th positions). Finally, Jahn Regensburg finished in 14th place in the last championship. Nevertheless, Mersad Selimbegovic remains in his post. He has been coaching the team since 2019. Now a new and quite difficult task awaits him. As it happened before, the roster has been updated radically. About a dozen footballers left during the offseason, and about the same number of newcomers appeared. Among the latter, it’s worth noting Leon Guwara, who had previously played in the Dutch Eredivisie, but the defender, like everyone else, came as a free agent.
Curious statistics: five out of the last six head-to-head matches ended in draws. It was only last summer that Jahn Regensburg was able to achieve a convincing 3-0 victory. Both Darmstadt and Regensburg showed good football in the offseason and scored a lot. We believe that the clubs will start the championship in a scoring way, and we recommend betting on Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
