Both teams have won last weekend meeting. In the derby against St. Pauli, for the first time in a long time Hamburger SV have again convinced and they are now in second place with three points ahead of the third placed Union Berlin. The same applies to the SV Darmstadt 98 in terms of relegation. There is already 8 points distance to 16th place but the guests are not yet over the mountain. Of the eleven matches between those two so far, HSV have won seven. There are two draws and Darmstadt get only two victories. The derby victory should give the HSV real boost. Although Darmstadt has incrased their self-confidence, away, the guests are still the weakest team in the league and are unlikely to take anything from Hamburg. |
