THE LOWDOWN

WOLFSBURG

Consecutive wins for Wolfsburg have pulled them clear of the bottom three, with six points now the gap between them and 16th-placed Mainz. Their recent resurgence under new head coach Ralph Hasenhuttl has been much needed and a strong finish to the season should bode well for 2024-25. Taking on the divison’s bottom-placed side is a big opportunity for them to maintain their current winning streak.

DARMSTADT

With just three games remaining including this one, Darmstadt fate is already sealed with 11 points separating them from Mainz. They will return back down to the second tier at the first time of asking after losing last time out at home to Heidenheim, which confirmed their relegation, somewhat ironically at the hands of another newly promoted club.

THE TEAM NEWS

WOLFSBURG

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Casteels; Fischer, Lacroix, Jenz, Maehle; Svanberg, Arnold; Baku, Wimmer, Cerny; Wind

UNAVAILABLE: Bornauw (Suspended), Nmecha (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Vranckx (Injured), Zesiger (Injured)

DARMSTADT

PREDICTED XI (3-4-1-2): Schuhen; Zimmerman, Klarer, Maglica; Karic, Kempe, Muller, Nurnberger; Justvan; Skarke, Vilhelmsson

UNAVAILABLE: Bader (Injured), Brunst (Injured), Gjasula (Injured), Holland (Injured), Hornby (Injured), Manu (Injured), Polter (Illness), Riedel (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Mehlem (Fitness)

THE PREDICTION

It would be no surprise and perhaps understandable if Darmstadt’s performance levels flatten out with them unable to save themselves from relegation. Wolfsburg’s intensity under Hasenhuttl could end up overwhelming them here and against a team with 20 defeats from 31 Bundesliga fixtures this campaign, expectations will be high for Wolfsburg at home. Back them to make it three wins in a row.

TIP: WOLFSBURG TO WIN
