FC Koln v SV Darmstadt 98 : Bundesliga 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 15th Mar, 19:30 BST, RheinEnergieStadion, Köln

the RheinEnergieStadion faithful welcome SV Darmstadt 98's travelling contingent on Saturday evening, as Gerhard Struber's FC Koln clash with Florian Kohfeldt's troops in the Bundesliga 2. Our predictions for each betting market are calculated using the past 20 games each side has played (home, away and overall) with additional weight assigned to top teams. All the statistics and infographics are tailored for the selected market. Head-to-head stats between the team are also given where our data allows. Odds are provided directly from from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Both teams to score

Having studied all relevant stats, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we fully expect this fixture to deliver both elation and misery to both home and away fans. We expect both Köln and Darmstadt to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes, but the ultimate victor of the game seems less clear. Bookmaker's odds also point towards a both teams to score bet, and that looks a wise bet to us.
