Elversberg's home unbeaten run has now stretched to 260 days. This weekend, the two top scorers in the 2. Bundesliga will face off at the Kaiserlinde stadium. Here are the key facts about Sunday's match (November 30th, 1:30pm) between SV Darmstadt 98 and SV 07 Elversberg.
Darmstadt took an early lead in each of their last three matches: Fraser Hornby scored against SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the 11th minute, Killian Corredor opened the scoring in Hannover in the 5th minute, and Hornby again found the net against Arminia Bielefeld in the 4th minute. This makes SV 98 one of the fastest starters in the league.
Sergio Lopez set up the early 1-0 lead against Fürth. It was the full-back’s first goal contribution of the 2025/26 season. Lopez started eight matches this season, and Darmstadt remained undefeated (5 wins, 3 draws) – no other player in the 2. Bundesliga can boast as many undefeated starts in 2025/26.
This coming Sunday, the top scorers of the 2. Bundesliga, Younes Ebnoutalib and Isac Lidberg, will face each other. Both have already scored ten goals. Ebnoutalib has scored all of his goals inside the penalty area. Lidberg has converted all five of his clear-cut chances and boasts the highest finishing efficiency in the league (+4.3).
Elversberg’s attack is impressive: they’ve already unleashed 210 shots on goal – the most in the league. However, SVE needs an average of eight shots per goal. Darmstadt is on par with the third-placed team in this statistic. Only Arminia Bielefeld needs fewer shots to score (7).
Darmstadt 98 are not only successful defensively, but also demonstrate their strength in attack. The 98ers are quick to react: after counter-attacks, the South Hessians have already beaten the opposing goalkeeper five times. This puts them in second place in this league statistic, tied with Elversberg.
However, Darmstadt 98 are also quick to transition from defence: they have yet to concede a goal on a counter-attack. Furthermore, the Lilies have only allowed ten shots on goal from counter-attacks so far. Only Schalke have fewer shots on goal in this regard, with eight.
It’s not just Hannover 98 with a strong home record. Elversberg is also unbeaten in front of their home crowd for 260 days, securing six wins and three draws in their last nine matches. Their last home defeat came on March 15th against Münster (0-1). Such a run is unprecedented for SVE in the 2. Bundesliga: the Saarland team had previously gone a maximum of three consecutive home games without a loss in this league. With 26 points from 13 matches, Elversberg has also set another club record in the 2. Bundesliga.
