THE LOWDOWN
DOOMED DARMSTADT HOPE TO REWARD FANS
It’s been a Bundesliga campaign to forget for Darmstadt with them having been relegated long ago and this represents their last chance to give their home support something to cheer about. Losing has been an uncomfortable habit for Darmstadt with 21 in the league so far.
Since that rare victory over FC Cologne, Darmstadt have since reverted to type with two defeats, first against Heidenheim, before being comprehensively dispatched by three goals to nil away at Wolfsburg last time out.
HOFFENHEIM STILL IN EUROPEAN FIGHT
Hoffenheim still have six points up for grabs as they aim to finish the season with a place in Europe locked in for 2024-25. They’ll need to get themselves back to winning ways though after having taken just a point from their last two Bundesliga fixtures.
The visitors did at least respond very well from going down 3-2 against Bochum, drawing 1-1 vs RB Leipzig after denying Marco Rose’s side victory thanks to a 90th minute equaliser from Andrej Kramaric, so often the man of the moment for Hoffenheim.

QUESTIONABLE:
THE PREDICTION
It’s non-negotiable from a Hoffenheim point of view that they get the better of Darmstadt as they fight for European positions. Although the hosts have motivation in front of their supporters, their squad just hasn’t been good enough across the season and competing against seasoned Bundesliga outfits has been a huge struggle. With that in mind, back Hoffenheim to inflict another defeat on Darmstadt.
TIP: HOFFENHEIM TO WIN
