Darmstadt 98, Recent FormDarmstadt 98 will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Augsburg. They achieved 53% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Augsburg's tally of 19 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Whilst manager Torsten Lieberknecht will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 18 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
When it comes to home matches at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor, Tim Skarke will be feeling confident about finding the net again, with 5 league goals for Darmstadt 98 in their last 6 home games.
RB Leipzig, Recent FormRB Leipzig manager Marco Rose will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Bochum. In that game they had 77% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Bochum who had 9 attempts and 2 on target.
Rose will be more than satisfied with his side's form of late, having recorded 14 goals in their last 6 encounters and only conceded 3 goals in that time. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 2 clean sheets in a row.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for RB Leipzig, Loïs Openda will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
A defeat for Darmstadt 98 in their last match against RB Leipzig was not completely unexpected, but they will have been disappointed to lose by 4 goals.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Darmstadt and their rivals, Die Roten Bullen, the former have conceded at least one goal. On each of the last 2 outings between Darmstadt and Die Roten Bullen in the league, Darmstadt have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. In their past 5 meetings, RB Leipzig's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Die Lilien will have to take their chances when they come.
Darmstadt have lost the last 3 times they've faced RB Leipzig in the league and have failed to win in their last 3 encounters.
Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Klaus Gjasula (Groin), Fabian Holland (Bruised leg), Emir Karić (Muscle), Braydon Manu (Ankle), Fabio Torsiello (Buttocks) and Christoph Zimmermann (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Marco Rose has a number of injury concerns in his RB Leipzig squad to contend with: El Bitshiabu (Knee), Benjamin Henrichs (Muscle), Kevin Kampl (Hip), Dani Olmo (Sprained knee) and Willi Orbán (Knee)
