On Saturday, 17.09.2016, meets the SV Darmstadt 98 in the early afternoon at Signal Iduna Park on Borussia Dortmund. Both teams after two Bundesliga games three points on their account, and both have only twice faced directly. Last season, Darmstadt was somewhat surprising take a point in Dortmund (2: 2). In the second leg we lost then at home 0: 2, which is not really surprised. While Darmstadt played against relegation, Dortmund was the only remaining border “Bayern hunters”. Also this year, it can be assumed that the roles will probably be similarly distributed again. Dortmund is aiming for at least the Champions League places and Darmstadt will try to escape from the relegation mire.
FormCheck Dortmund
Dortmund is just like Darmstadt after two league games with “only” 3 points there. Only 3 points because it was somewhat unexpected that the Borussia could not penetrated in Leipzig. Dortmund had against the Saxons over long distances more of the game. This was partly also a strong playing Mario Götze, who was allowed to ran since his return from the start for the first time and quite successfully tried to take responsibility. After a first half with almost 70% possession, Dortmund had to pay tribute and slowly release play in the second period. Leipzig was characterized more into the game and took the last available opportunity by 4 minutes before the final whistle to complete the decisive attack with a remarkable goal. For Liga opener went against Mainz. In a thrilling game in which there was at no time bored to Dortmund sat confidently with 2: by: 1. Both goals for Dortmund scored Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The goal was as well to Leipzig only in the final minutes (92 minutes). Also in the Cup against Eintracht Trier the Borussia prevailed (3: 0). Goals from Kagawa (2) and Schürrle (1). it was the start of the Champions League for the black and yellow on the last Wednesday to the probably most vulnerable group opponents. In Legia Warsaw Dortmund was clearly superior in all respects. The Borussia sat opposite urged Poland to possession, many passes and dominance. Already in the 1st Half Dortmund could accommodate by Götze, Sokratis and Bartra the ball three times in the goal. In the second half, then Guerreiro, Castro and Aubameyang laid again after and got the goals 4 – 6. This Borussia managed the highest ever victory in the Champions League, which in view of the other group opponents (Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon) no harm can.
FormCheck Darmstadt
After Darmstadt in last season for 33 years back could first prove in the Bundesliga, you landed the 34th game on a good 14th place, two places in front of Eintracht Frankfurt, who had known in the relegation. Against Eintracht the lilies could now also ran on Matchday 2 of the current season. In Hessen derby it was this time too little explosive. want to the benefits of both teams were left in this tired kick. Frankfurt was the game distributed better and more active team, while Darmstadt sat on a sturdy defense and was limited to the counterattack. So Darmstadt had throughout the game from only a direct shot on goal and what can I say, it was enough for the victory. In the 90th minute Sirigu took the first real opportunity of lilies and put the ball into the goal. In the first league game the Blue-Whites had however not so lucky. Against a better team from Cologne got pasted two goals and lost cope. As a result, Darmstadt is currently with 3 points on the 12th place. In the Cup of SV could already ran. Here, the blue-white sat confidently through against Bremer SV from the fifth League and won with 7: 0th In the match against Dortmund the 98s must continue to waive Jan Rosenthal (injury to the Achilles tendon) Jerome Gondorf (knee injury) and Victor Obinna (Locked). On Straw Angel (cold) and Felix plate (hip injury) may Norbert Meier, who trains the lilies since this season, possibly revert.
Dortmund – Darmstadt, Tips & Conclusion – 09/17/2016
Who goes here as favorite into play, should be uncontroversial. But the list of new additions Dortmund should be giddy the lilies already. Following the significant away win in the Champions League against Legia Warsaw, which the self-confidence and self-image of Borussia will certainly not hurt, I’m assuming that Dortmund after the unexpected defeat on Matchday 2 of the 1. Bundesliga with determination to win will play.
