Shortly afterwards Darmstadt will play a home match against Sandhausen. Darmstadt won the away match 6-1. But Sandhausen is in good form now. They have not lost in any of the last 5 matches. They managed to draw 3 matches. Darmstadt's victory, on the other hand, is essential to the top of the points table. If they do not win, they will lose their second place in the points table. I will put my money in favor of Darmstadt today. And they will win by more than 2 goals
Darmstadt's players have been trying to control the match since the beginning of the match. And at the end of the first half they took a 1-0 lead. Ball possession Darmstadt 63% and Sandhausen only 37%. However, Darmstadt is not yet in the safe zone. They need to score one more goal early in the second half. Only then will players be able to play stress free the rest of the time.
Darmstadt has dropped six points in the last five games alone. I would like to see them in the first league as that is ages ago, but they should urgently start to take home three points again. The advantage they have over the fourth place right now is deceptive, things can change quickly and they do lack momentum at the time. Every time one top team drops points it also motivates all the other ones. Not only do you give up part of your hope, but evoke hope in the other teams and Nürnberg, Hamburg and Schalke take a deep breath when Darmstadt fails. Going to be a close race till the end.
