On Saturday afternoon, Darmstadt will look to aid their bid for Bundesliga survival when they welcome Augsburg to the Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor.
Darmstadt looking to end winless runThe home team are on a woeful run of form in the Bundesliga, as they are winless in their previous 16 games in the German top-flight after a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen last time out.
The poor run of form has left Darmstadt stranded at the bottom of the German top-flight table, 12 points adrift of the safety of 15th place in the table. They are also four points adrift of the relegation play-off spot.
Their recent Bundesliga games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings in the German top flight.
Darmstadt really needs to start winning at home, as they have failed to win in nine Bundesliga home games, having suffered seven defeats and picked up just two draws.
Augsburg back to winning ways last time outThe Bavarians ended a four-game winless run in the Bundesliga last time out by recording a 2-1 home win over Freiburg.
Despite their recent poor run of form, the visitors have been relatively prolific lately, scoring at least two goals in four of their last six league outings.
Augsburg’s recent inconsistent form in the Bundesliga has left them in the limbo of 11th place, eight points adrift of the European spots, and nine ahead of the league’s bottom three.
The visitors have been poor travellers of late in the Bundesliga, as they have won just once in their last seven away games in the German top flight.
Their recent matches on their travels in the Bundesliga have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous nine games.
What am I backing?Neither team has been in great form of late, and I am not expecting there to be much difference between these teams. This could be a low-scoring clash, too, so I am backing under 2.5 goals scored.
