Darmstadt 98 form and stats

Things could have gone better for Darmstadt 98 in their 2. Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

246 minutes! That's how long the Darmstadt 98 goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

Darmstadt had fun at their own home (Volksparkstadion) last time out, beating Hansa Rostock 4-0. Kempe, Tietz (2) and Mehlem scored. As mentioned above, Darmstadt 98 was the only team on the pitch versus Hansa Rostock in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Eintracht Braunschweig.
