Darmstadt 98, Recent FormAn important point secured against 1899 Hoffenheim will have left Darmstadt 98 quite happy with their 3-3 draw. During that encounter they had 55% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 15 shots on goal.
Having scored 6 goals and conceded 9 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have failed to score in their last 3 home games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 16 games overall.
A win for Darmstadt 98 is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Tim Skarke will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Darmstadt 98.
Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormBorussia Dortmund manager Edin Terzić will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Mainz 05. They came away from that fixture with a 65% share of the possession and clocked up 22 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Mainz 05, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Terzić will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 10 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Of the 16 games they have played so far this season, they've scored in 15 of them but conceded at least one goal on 13 occasions.
They've drawn their last 2 league games away from home, but their search for a league win on the road extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Donyell Malen will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Darmstadt 98 in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Borussia Dortmund.
Last time these two teams played each other in the league Darmstadt 98 sprung a suprise, upsetting the form book by winning the game 2-1.
In their previous 4 encounters with Die Borussen, Darmstadt have shipped at least one goal in those matches.
Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Fabian Holland (Illness), Fraser Hornby (Ankle), Braydon Manu (Ankle), Marvin Mehlem (Broken leg), Fabian Nürnberger (Ankle), Aaron Seydel (Calf), Oscar Vilhelmsson (Groin) and Christoph Zimmermann (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Edin Terzić has a number of injury concerns in his Dortmund squad to contend with: Karim Adeyemi (Ankle), Julien Duranville (Thigh), Youssoufa Moukoko (Hamstring), Felix Nmecha (Hip) and Julian Ryerson (Medial Collateral Ligament)
