Borussia Dortmund vs SV Darmstadt 98 Prediction (18.05.2024)

On Saturday afternoon, Dortmund and Darmstadt will face off at Signal Iduna Park in gameweek 34 of the Bundesliga campaign.

BVB suffered a 3-0 defeat at Mainz in their last outing in the German top flight. The result means that Edin Terzic’s team has won just one of their last four Bundesliga encounters.

However, during the run, the home team booked their place in the Champions League final after a 2-1 aggregate win over PSG in the semi-finals.

With a place in the Champions League for next season already confirmed, BVB have very little to play for in gameweek 34.

The defeat against Mainz was another high-scoring affair, as four of their last five Bundesliga games have produced over 2.5 goals.

Dortmund’s usually strong home form has been slightly more inconsistent lately. They have won just two of their last five matches on home soil.

The visitors have endured a difficult campaign in the German top flight. They will finish bottom of the table, whatever happens in this encounter.

Torsten Lieberknecht’s team will look to finish their maiden Bundesliga season with a victory. However, Die Lilien have lost five of their last six games in the Bundesliga.

Darmstadt’s main issue of late in the German top flight has recently been scoring goals, as they have failed to score in all five of their recent six defeats.

The visitors have also found away wins hard to come by in the Bundesliga, having won just one of their last 12 matches on their travels in the German top flight.

They have also conceded at least two goals in four of their last five away games in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund's recent form has not been great, but BVB should have enough quality to overcome the struggling visitors.
