Darmstadt 98, Recent FormThe 1-0 away defeat to Union Berlin will not have sat easily with the Darmstadt 98 squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 50%, while racking up 16 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Union Berlin, who had 21 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 7 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 13 goals in the same period. They have been unable to score at home in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 18 of their 19 games overall.
A win for Darmstadt 98 is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 12 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Darmstadt 98, Tim Skarke will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormBayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against B. M'gladbach. They came away from that fixture with a 75% share of the possession and clocked up 28 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to B. M'gladbach, who managed 4 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
With 12 goals scored from their past 6 matches and just 3 conceded, Alonso will be more than happy with his team's form of late. They've kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 games, and they've scored in 18 of their 19 games this season.
Their impressive run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 19 games in a row.
