Germans regularly surprise with their choice of matches and this time they managed to surprise again.

The Eagles did not perform well in the friendly matches before the start of the season, in the last four only two draws with two defeats, but this did not prevent the future hosts of the field from beating Lokomotiv Leipzig on the road with a score of 7:0 in the first round of the Cup. Eintracht, unlike many Bundesliga clubs, in the off-season strengthened, on transfers spent 22 million euros. They bought out the rights to Pacho, Ebimbe, and Larsson, took Koch on loan, and Shkiri came as a free agent from Cologne.
Darmstadt
In the test matches before the season, the future guests lost to Giessen, and Liverpool played a draw with Karlsruher and Sandhausen. And in the first official match of the season, Darmstadt failed, losing away to Homburg with a score of 0:3. Very weak start to the season, and there is a feeling that the future guests are not ready for the Bundesliga. If they lose 0:3 to Homburg, how can they expect to score points in Frankfurt against one of the strongest teams in the elite division?
Expert Betting Tips
We will be very surprised if Darmstadt brings at least one point from Frankfurt. The future rivals are teams of different levels; besides, judging by the latest results, Darmstadt is not ready for the season and has enormous problems with performance. In the five friendlies that preceded the start of the season and in the first official match, the future guests scored only one goal against their opponents. We will not be surprised if the newcomer to the Bundesliga cannot score in the opening match of the German championship.
