Date: Sunday, 28 July 2019
Kick-off at 12:30 UK/ 13:30 CET

Last season, in spite of their impressive performances, Hamburg will be disappointed that they missed out on the playoffs by a single point. With that in the back of their minds, players will be determined to give their best on the pitch and attain promotion this time around. And since they begin their campaign with a home game, fans will be hoping for a win.

Opponents for the day Darmstadt had finished a modest tenth in league standings at the same time and had a considerable amount of problems with their backline. The team had let in the same number of goals as the relegated Magdeburg.

Hamburg vs Darmstadt Prediction

Hamburg was unbeaten in five of their last six battles and was so in 13 of their last 18 at home. They were also one of the best in the business in this league in 2018-19 and missed out on a playoff spot extremely narrowly.

With their home advantage, and taking into account the bottom-half finish of the Darmstadt in the last edition of this tournament, the top pick is a win for the hosts.

But do note that, the guests have a 100% winning record here. And also, the last five straight h2h ties saw away wins as well. Moreover, every single such encounter bar one had goals at either end of the pitch, and every single clash at this venue had both teams on the scorecard.

These observations provide us our next pick, the BTTS.
