Preview
Darmstadt 98 and Köln meet at Merck‑Stadion am Böllenfalltor, in a match for the 9th round of the 2. Bundesliga. In the last 3 years these teams met twice: the earliest head‑to‑head was played on 20‑04‑2024 and ended in a (0‑2) win by Darmstadt 98, and the latest on 01‑12‑2023, which ended in a (0‑1) win by FC Köln. Darmstadt 98 registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Darmstadt 98

The home team is currently in the 16th position of the league, with 6 points won, after 1 win, 3 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Magdeburg, by (1‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Karlsruher SC, by (3‑3). This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses in away matches; against 2 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses at their stadium.

They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 4 of their 8 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1. there is 1 period that stands out in the last 20 home matches for all competitions: they have scored 6 of their 17 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Despite the recent away draw, Darmstadt 98 knows it needs to improve significantly on the pitch. The team is already at risk in the 2. Bundesliga standings, and even though it’s early in the competition, it’s important to sound the alarm. Changing strategy, along with displaying a more determined attitude on the field, will be crucial factors in seeking victory in this clash against Köln.

Confirmed Lineup: Marcel Schuhen, Clemens Riedel, Sergio López, Aleksandar Vukotic, Fabian Nürnberger, Philipp Förster, Andreas Müller, Kai Klefisch, Killian Corredor, Fraser Hornby, Isac Lidberg.
Coach: T. Lieberknecht.

Analysis Köln

The away team is currently in the 7th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Karlsruher SC, by (4‑4). In the last match, they won in a home match against Ulm, by (2‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 10 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 30 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 24 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Köln has won 4, tied 4 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 6 of the last 8 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 8 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 39 of the last 44 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 7 of the last 8 matches for the 2. Bundesliga, they have reached half‑time in front in 5 of those 7 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 3 of them.

By maintaining a high level of performance on the pitch, they will have a great chance of making life difficult for Darmstadt 98, even if the latter is playing away from home.

Confirmed Lineup: Jonas Urbig, Timo Hübers , Leart Paçarada, Julian Pauli, Eric Martel, Denis Huseinbasic, Rasmus Carstensen, Linton Maina, Damion Downs, Tim Lemperle, Luca Waldschmidt.
