Darmstadt 98, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Darmstadt 98 players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Bochum. They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Bochum's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Their boss Torsten Lieberknecht is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 19 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
Despite picking up some valuable points from 2 wins, the 4 lost matches from 6 will be the main concern for them. They've had a poor start to their season losing 7 of 10 league games.
With 5 league goals in 6 games at home in Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor, Tim Skarke will be feeling confident about hitting the net again in this home encounter.
Mainz 05, Recent FormIn their last fixture against RB Leipzig, Mainz 05 managed a 2-0 home victory, so they'll be in confident mood going into this game. In that game they recorded 33 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 10 shots on goal.
Supremo Bo Svensson will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 9 of their 10 games.
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 9 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 2-1 win for Darmstadt 98.
Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Braydon Manu (Ankle), Aaron Seydel (Muscle) and Fabio Torsiello (Buttocks) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Bo Svensson has a number of injury concerns in his Mainz squad to contend with: Stefan Bell (Physical discomfort), Jonathan Burkardt (Knee), Brajan Gruda (Ankle), Andreas Hanche-Olsen (Ankle) and Nelson Weiper (Knee surgery)
