THE PREDICTION

After back-to-back defeats, Darmstadt 98 eased their relegation fears with a 3-2 win at Paderborn last time out. They have not recorded back-to-back victories since December, though, and coach Markus Anfang could be without up to 12 players for this one because of injuries and suspension. Many of those absentees are in defence but they are up against an Erzgebirge Aue side who have lost five of their last six away league games, scoring just two goals in the process. The hosts have scored no more than once in five of their last six at the Böllenfalltor, so this is unlikely to be a goal fest.
