Season ticket holders at Heinz-Steyer-Stadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Dynamo Dresden languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Darmstadt 98 will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
