This day, January 17, 2025, Fortuna Düsseldorf and SV Darmstadt 98 face each other in an exciting duel in the 2nd Bundesliga. The kick -off is at 5:30 p.m. Despite the continuing difficulties of Düsseldorf, the betting odds in favor of the hosts seem to tend, which is surprising due to their weak form, such as Wett-based reported.

Fortuna Düsseldorf has a turbulent first half of the season. The team led the table over a period of seven match days, but only completed the first half of the season in eighth place. In the last eight second division games, the Fortunes only achieved a single win, with three draws and four defeats. As a result, an away win of the Darmstadt residents will further tighten the situation for Düsseldorf. A 5-0 home win against Eintracht Braunschweig at the end of the first half of the season was too late to stop the general negative trend. In contrast, they lost 2: 5.

Darmstadt's perspective

SV Darmstadt 98, under the direction of coach Florian Kohfeldt, was able to collect 23 points in the last 13 league games. However, they also ended their first half of the season with a disappointing 1-2 defeat against Jahn Regensburg. Despite these setbacks, Darmstadt has the second best offensive in the league with 36 goals. In the current ranking of the 2nd Bundesliga, Darmstadt takes tenth place with a total of 24 points from 17 games, but the team is still within reach of the relegation zone.

The last six compulsory home games against Darmstadt was able to win Düsseldorf for himself, which gives them a psychological advantage. In the overall balance of direct duels, the Fortuna leads with 13 wins compared to the six wins of Darmstadt. These statistics could be the key to Düsseldorf to overcome the form crisis.

Current ranking

The table of the 2nd Bundesliga looks as follows:

Platz team Games victory tie defeats goals goals Points
1 Cologne 17 9 4 4 32 23 31
8 Fortuna Düsseldorf 17 7 5 5 28 23 26
10 Darmstadt 17 6 6 5 36 29 24

The current situation in the league is tense, especially for Düsseldorf, which was only one of the last seven second division home games. In order to save her season, Düsseldorf urgently has to collect points, while Darmstadt will try to take advantage of the weaknesses of the opponent and to increase the distance to the relegation zone. While the fans hope for an exciting encounter, today's game promises to be a crucial moment for both teams.
