Competition: Bundesliga 2
Market: Darmstadt wins
Chances: 4/7 @Pribet
Knowing that they could force their way into the promotion spots this weekend, Darmstadt welcome Furth to Hesse on Saturday evening.
Starting with the home side, while Darmstadt may have suffered major frustrations last season as they fought their way into the bottom half, the Lillies have come back in impressive style this time around. Last seen heading into the November international break with an action-packed 3-2 win away to Hannover, Florian Kohfeldt’s men have their sights set on building a real promotion campaign this year. To kick off this weekend’s matches, just one point away from finding a route to the play-off place, the former Werder Bremen boss should smell a golden opportunity here. Continuing their DFP Pokal adventure on October 29 thanks to a stunning 4-0 draw against Schalke, Darmstadt are dreaming of a repeat performance on Saturday evening. In fact, the Blues have suffered just one defeat in each of their previous nine outings in all competitions – a streak that stretches all the way back to August 31. Similarly, following last season, Kohfeldt’s promotion dreamers have suffered just one defeat in Hesse since early February.
As for the visitors, who claimed a vital boost ahead of the November international break when they recorded a horror 1-0 win at home to Munster, Furth will be desperate to use that performance as a platform to build on. However, Thomas Kleine’s side are still at the bottom of the Bundesliga 2 table and look set to face another relegation penalty. Since the opening of the 2025/2026 season, Thomas Kleine’s team continues to have a number of major problems. When their respective DFP Pokal adventure came to an end last month with a toothless 1-0 defeat at home to Kaiserslautern, Furth lost each of their other four appearances across all formats. While they start November with a 2-1 defeat away at Paderborn, the Shamrocks should brace themselves for another tough test this weekend. Including the 6-0 thrashing of Elversberg on October 19, it should also be noted that Saturday’s guests have lost their previous three Bundesliga 2 clashes on the road by an aggregate score of 9-1.
