Darmstadt vs B. Monchengladbach Prediction & Betting Tips (17 September)

Having come very close to the title last year in 2.Bundesliga, SV Darmstadt quickly consoled itself by validating its ticket for the Bundesliga, 6 years after its last stint in the elite. However, the Fleurs de Lys will have to quickly get up to speed if they want to hope to settle there since their first steps this season are very delicate.

Indeed, they have been beaten three times in as many matches and they very logically find themselves having to bring up the rear in the rankings. The promoted team were first defeated by Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 then, more severely, by Union Berlin 1-4 and Bayer Leverkusen 5-1.

The rise to the elite was not enough to convince top scorer Tietz (12 goals, Augsburg) and senior defender Patric Pfeiffer (Augsburg) to stay at the club. These are two big losses for this team as they played an important role in their good season last year. On the other hand, defenders Maglica (Stuttgart) and Klarer (Fortuna Düsseldorf), midfielders Müller (Madebourg) and Nürnberger (Nuremberg), Croatian international hopeful Franjic (Wolfsburg, loan) and attackers Luca Pfeiffer (Stuttgart), Skarke ( Schalke) and Hornby (Reims) arrived this summer but their contribution is still struggling to be felt in the club's results. This Sunday, the team will be complete. The only two goals scored by the Fleurs de Lys so far have been through the young Swede Vilhelmsson (19 years old) and the midfielder Mehlem. After a few notable years at the club, Marcus Thuram (free, Inter) who was the team's top scorer last year with 13 goals, did not wish to extend the adventure with Borussia.

More annoying, the experienced midfielder Stindl (Karlsruher), the left side Bensebaïni (Dortmund) and the playing master Jonas Hofmann (12 goals, 9 assists last year, Bayer Leverkusen) have also taken flight. In order to compensate for these departures, the leaders grabbed striker Cvancara (Sparta Prague, 12 goals last year in the Czech League), Austrian international central defender Wöber, midfielder Weigl (Benfica) and French winger Frank Honorat (ex-Brest) and obtained the loan of Jodan Siebatcheu from Union Berlin. This Sunday, Netz and Lainer are all injured. On the other hand, the Czech striker recruited this summer, Cvancara, author of 2 goals in the first two days, is available.
