A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Darmstadt 98 fans are optimistic that the difference between 6th and Wehen Wiesbaden's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Darmstadt 98 form and stats
When playing at home in the 2. Bundesliga, Darmstadt 98 have managed 4 wins, 8 draws and suffered 1 defeat from 13 games. Darmstadt haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Arminia Bielefeld, 161 days ago.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Darmstadt 98, as their goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen has completely shut out the opponents for 240 minutes in the 2. Bundesliga.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Darmstadt, who played 0-0 against Bochum. That match was also played at this venue (Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor). Previous to that game, a home match hosting Heidenheim in a game that was won 2-0.
Darmstadt has scored 18 league goals at home this season, in 13 matches. On the other hand, Darmstadt 98 have conceded 14 goals.
Wehen Wiesbaden form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 2. Bundesliga travels is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.
It's the second away game in a row for Wiesbaden, but there's smiles all around after the 6-2 victory versus Osnabrück (placed 12th) in the 2. Bundesliga last time out. A 0-1 defeat away at Arminia Bielefeld before that.
As you can tell from the results above, Wiesbaden was very dominant against Osnabrück, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-2 (!) with Maximilian Dittgen, Stefan Aigner, Manuel Schäffler (3) and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh providing the goals. Manuel Schäffler certainly enjoyed Wiesbaden's last game versus Osnabrück, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 6-2 victory.
Wehen Wiesbaden has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 20 goals from 13 games. Wiesbaden have conceded 19 goals in these away matches.
