Darmstadt 98 form and stats

As the visiting team in 2. Bundesliga matches, Darmstadt 98 have produced an overall stat of 7-3-5 so far. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Darmstadt 98 have lost on their last two travels.

Darmstadt might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Schalke 04 proved too strong as Darmstadt 98 slumped to a 2-5 defeat in front of their own fans at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor. As you can tell from the result, the match against Schalke 04 was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today? The attacker Tietz got a match rating of 8.13 in that game. Tietz scored two goals and hit the woodwork once.

Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Nurnberg's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Darmstadt 98 playing away and similar expectations, we found twelve relevant matches. Results were four Darmstadt 98 wins, two draws and six defeats.

The travelling fans enjoy Darmstadt's attacking play in away games, having scored 26 goals in 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. As opposed to that, Darmstadt 98 have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
