Darmstadt 98 vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips and Predictions

Darmstadt 98 will be disappointed they only took 1 point away from Bremen after Werder Bremen’s 89th minute 2-2 equalizer last Saturday. Darmstadt are still doing reasonable enough for their first run in the Bundesliga in 33 years, sitting in 14th place in the Bundesliga (4 points above Werder Bremen who sit in the relegation zone play off spot).

Borussia Dortmund are having a fantastic season, despite sitting 8 points behind Bayern Munich in 2nd place. Dortmund have accumulated the most points they ever have after 23 matchdays (54 points from 17 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses) and they come into this match having won the last 6 games straight. They are also unbeaten in 9 games (8 wins and 1 draw) across all competitions. Dortmund won their match last Sunday at home against 10-man Hoffenheim, after 3 goals in the last 10 minutes secured them a 3-1 win and all 3 points.

Darmstadt 98 have the 2nd worst home form in the league (7 points from 11 games), ahead of only bottom of the table Hannover 96, and they have failed to score in 6 of their 11 home games so far this season (55%) which averages to a poor 0.73 goals/per game at home. Hence, their home record stands not much better at 1 win, 4 draws and 6 losses so far this season. Darmstadt have failed to score in 4 of these 6 losses. Dortmund on the other hand, and most notably their star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (32 goals in 35 appearances), are clearly the stronger team on paper and score goals at a much higher average of 2 goals/per game away from home. Dortmund will see this match as great opportunity to take advantage of an out of form Darmstadt, who struggle for goals at home, and secure themselves a vital 3 points. With Dortmund winning 4 out of the last 6 games without conceding combined with the above analysis, Borussia Dortmund to Win and Both Teams NOT to Score with Dortmund winning 2-0 at 6/1 seem very likely outcomes in this match.
