Darmstadt

Current form
Darmstadt 98 had an extremely unsuccessful last season. The team was considered the main outsider of the Bundesliga from the very beginning and was never able to defy this status. The club finished the season in last place, with only 17 points, and ingloriously relegated to the Second Bundesliga. Things are not going well for the team here either. The visitors began the championship with a series of five games without a win. After that, the situation improved slightly, but the desired result is still a long way off. The team from Darmstadt is only 13th in the standings, just two points ahead of the danger zone. In the previous round of the cup, they managed to secure a confident victory over Teutonia Ottensen.

1.70Tip and bets
The hosts play in a less prestigious division, but are still considered favorites by bookmakers. We do not think that the visitors have fewer chances to win - the team has just started to gain form after an unsuccessful start to the season, but the results of the Dynamo players, on the contrary, have gone downhill. We believe that it will be extremely difficult for the hosts to beat an opponent who is superior in class.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Darmstadt 98 for 2.02
Bet on total
The teams will be fighting for a place in the 1/8 finals and will probably do everything possible to avoid mistakes in defense. In a cup match, everything can be decided by one mistake, so the opponents will act as carefully as possible. With such a style of play, the opponents are unlikely to be able to show a productive performance.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 2.35
Bet on the first half
Let pay attention to the fact that in the last two face-to-face matches the opponents separated in a draw at the end of the first half. We think that today all the main events on the field will unfold after the break.
Forecast - draw in the first half with odds of 2.40
