I see guests favorites here.

Darmstad had a disastrous opening game, where they lost against Regensburg, a weaker team (one of the worst in the league) on paper and with lower budget/ambitions. We must remember that in the transfer market they lost their topscorer Luca Pfeiffer (17 goals last season), a key player in their system and the team has no replacement for him yet. The third topscorer last season (Seydel) remains unavailable due to an injury.

Furthermore, for this match they have a lot of problems with injuries and missings in defense. Especially in the central back, where both starters Patric Pfeiffer and Isherwood are out (injury + suspension) and the team has only two weak replacements for that position (Riedel and Muller), without experience and worse quality.

On the other hand, Sandhausen is the opposite. In the first round they beat at home one of the best teams in the league - Aminia. They showed that they are a very solid and serious team (as they were at the end of the previous season) and one of the most difficult teams to beat in the Bundesliga 2. They lost some key players, but found good replacements like David Kinsomb from Hamburg.

Guests have the advantage here. For me they are a better team, made a better performance in the first round and have the whole squad available, while hosts will be forced to make changes in the system (they use to play 4-4-2 but can’t do it anymore without Luca Pfeiffer) and play with a weak defense.

I believe that Sandhausen will continue performing as well as they did in the second part of the last season (where they were 5h in the table).

我看到客人最喜欢的。

达姆斯塔德的首战惨败，他们输给了雷根斯堡，后者是一支纸面上实力较弱的球队(联盟中最差的球队之一)，预算和野心也更低。我们必须记住，在转会市场上，他们失去了他们的头号射手卢卡-法伊弗(上赛季17球)，他是他们体系中的关键球员，球队目前还没有他的替代者。上赛季第三射手(塞德尔)因伤缺席。

此外，在这场比赛中，他们有很多伤病和防守缺阵的问题。特别是中卫，首发球员帕特里克·法伊弗和伊舍伍德都缺阵(伤病+停赛)，球队只有两名实力较弱的替补球员(里德尔和穆勒)，他们没有经验，素质也较差。

另一方面，Sandhausen则相反。在第一轮比赛中，他们在主场击败了联盟中最好的球队之一阿米尼亚队。他们展示了他们是一支非常坚固和认真的球队(就像他们在上个赛季结束时那样)，也是德甲联赛中最难击败的球队之一。他们失去了一些关键球员，但找到了像来自汉堡的大卫·金松这样的好替补。

客人在这里有优势。对我来说，他们是一支更好的球队，在首轮有更好的表现，整个阵容都是可用的，而东道主将被迫改变阵型(他们过去打442，但没有卢卡·法伊弗就不能再打了)，并使用弱防守。

我相信桑德豪森会继续表现得像上赛季第二阶段那样好(他们在积分榜上排名第5小时)。
