Darmstadt 98, Recent FormDarmstadt 98 will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with Bayern Munich in which they suffered a 8-0 away defeat. Their share of possession in that meeting was 46%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to Bayern Munich, who had 29 shots on goal with 16 on target.
Torsten Lieberknecht, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 20 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 11 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results. They've had a poor start to their season losing 6 of 9 league games.
On an individual basis, Tim Skarke will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor having scored 5 goals in Darmstadt 98's last 6 home games in the league.
Bochum, Recent FormWith a 2-2 draw in their last match against Mainz 05, Bochum had to settle for a share of the points. In that game they had 50% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Mainz 05 who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
They have bagged 5 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 15 times in that period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games.
A win for Bochum is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.
Takuma Asano will be hoping to create problems for Darmstadt 98 in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Bochum.
Last time these two teams met in the league it ended in disappointment for Bochum, losing 3-1 to Darmstadt 98.
Playing at home, Darmstadt have failed to score in 2 of their last 3 league games against Bochum.
In the league, Darmstadt have been unbeaten in their last 3 times they have welcomed Bochum to Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor.
Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Emir Karić (Muscle), Aaron Seydel (Muscle) and Fabio Torsiello (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
