Hamburger SV welcome Darmstadt 98 for another entertaining 2. Bundesliga fixture here at Volksparkstadion.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Hamburger SV form and stats
A 2. Bundesliga draw at home so far for Hamburger SV. Last season their home statistics were 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats from 17 matches.
The fans are hoping that Hamburger will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the 2. Bundesliga game against St. Pauli (placed 4th). Bakery Jatta, who plays in attack, was the top performer for the team in that game, scoring a rating of 7.45 (out of 10). Jatta served one assist, hit two key passes and dribled passed the opponent 1 of 1 times.
In the game before, an away victory in the DFB Pokal match versus Eintracht Braunschweig with a 2-1 scoreline.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Hamburger's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played three games, won one match, drawn zero and lost two.
At Volksparkstadion, Hamburger SV has the goal stats of 1-1 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Darmstadt 98 form and stats
Darmstadt 98 have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the 2. Bundesliga were 8 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats from 17 fixtures.
Darmstadt won their last game, 6-1 versus Ingolstadt played at home. The attacker Phillip Tietz got a match rating of 9.24 in that game. Tietz scored two goals and hit four key passes. As you can tell from the results above, Darmstadt was very dominant against Ingolstadt, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-1 (!) with Fabian Schnellhardt, Phillip Tietz (2), Braydon Manu and Luca Pfeiffer (2) providing the goals.
Before that, Darmstadt travelled to 1860 München (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) and returned home with a draw after the DFB Pokal game finished 1-1.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Darmstadt playing away, we found one game. Results were one away win, zero draws and zero home wins.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Darmstadt 98 has managed 0 goals and let in 3 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - three - four (Hamburger wins - draws - Darmstadt 98 wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
