On Saturday afternoon, struggling Darmstadt hosts Eintracht Frankfurt at the Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor in a game that could be pivotal in both teams' Bundesliga campaigns.
Darmstadt form guideThe home team is currently rock bottom of the Bundesliga table, four points from the safety of 15th place in the German top-flight standings.
A 3-0 home defeat against Dortmund last time out means that Torsten Lieberknecht’s team is now winless in their previous ten games in the Bundesliga.
The game saw them concede at least three goals for the third time in their last four games in the Bundesliga.
Unsurprisingly, considering their league position, Darmstadt has struggled for home results lately, as they have failed to win in six home games, having suffered five defeats in the run.
Their main problem on home soil in the Bundesliga of late has been finding the net, as they are currently on a four-game goalless streak on home soil in the German top flight.
Eintracht Frankfurt form guideThings seem to be looking up for the Eagles in the Bundesliga, as the visitors have now recorded three wins in their last four league games following their impressive 1-0 win at RB Leipzig last time out.
Eintracht’s win at the Red Bull Arena ended a run of high-scoring games for the visitors, as their previous nine league matches had all produced over 2.5 goals.
The promising recent run of form in the Bundesliga has moved Gerardo Seoane’s team up to sixth place in the standings, just six points adrift of the Champions League berths.
Frankfurt’s recent away form has not been great, as winning in Leipzig ended a short three-game winless run on their travels in the Bundesliga.
What am I backing?Darmstadt has been in woeful form, while Eintracht Frankfurt’s form looks to be improving. The bet I am backing is the away win.
