THE LOWDOWN

DARMSTADT

Bottom of the table. Only 13 points accumulated from 25 Bundesliga fixtures. On the end of an 8-0 beating in the reverse fixture. It’s easy to see why so many expect Darmstadt to be on the end of another mauling here. They now find themselves firmly marooned inside those automatic relegation play-offs and it’s starting to look like a matter of when, not if they make their return to the second tier of German football next season.

BAYERN MUNICH

After progressing through to the Champions League quarter-finals thanks to overturning a first-leg deficit against Lazio, Bayern Munich looked like a team with a significant weight lifted off their shoulders vs Mainz. That was reflected in their performance and battering of Bo Henriksen’s side, whom they thrashed by eight goals to one. Another hat-trick from Harry Kane made it 30 Bundesliga goals for the season already as he continues his bid to break Robert Lewandowski’s record, whilst the likes of Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Leon Goretzka (twice) were also on the scoresheet.

THE TEAM NEWS

DARMSTADT

PREDICTED XI (5-4-1): Schuhen; Skarke, Klarer, Zimmermann, Maglica, Karic; Justvan, Kempe, Franjic, Holtmann; Polter

UNAVAILABLE: Bader (Injured), Hornby (Injured), Manu (Fitness), Mehlem (Injured), Nurnberger (Injured), Riedel (Injured)

BAYERN MUNICH

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Kimmich, Kim, De Ligt, Guerreiro; Pavlovic, Goretzka; Sane, Musiala, Gnabry; Kane

UNAVAILABLE: Buchmann (Injured), Coman (Injured), Sarr (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Boey (Injured), Davies (Injured), Mazraoui (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

After seeing how Bayern Munich dismantled Mainz last weekend, it doesn’t bode well for another relegation-battling side in Darmstadt. Whilst they may be at home, this Bayern team who are no doubt still fired-up and angry due to Bayer Leverkusen’s significant lead at the top of the table, will likely want to make another statement here. Expect Kane and co to indulge themselves once for and for the ‘Rekordmeister’ to triumph by at least three clear goals.

TIP: BAYERN MUNICH TO WIN WITH -2 HANDICAP
