- Augsburg is a team to be known for being strong at home
- Darmstadt came from 2nd league and is expected to be a safe relegation candidate = losing in Augsburg would be as expected
- Darmstadt played a (comparably) really nice season so far, where Darmstadt won already against Bremen and achieved a good draw against Galdbach, netting 7 points already (4 before Augsburg), bringing Darmstadt way above expectations = no reason to sack coach
