Best Tip: Both teams to score

Having studied all relevant stats, including historical head-to-head (H2H) data, we fully expect this fixture to deliver both elation and misery to both home and away fans. We expect both Köln and Darmstadt to find the back of the net during the 90 minutes, but the ultimate victor of the game seems less clear. Bookmaker's odds also point towards a both teams to score bet, and that looks a wise bet to us.
