Wolfsburg vs Darmstadt Prediction 4 May 2024

Darmstadt turned out to be completely unprepared for the Bundesliga - this weekend only marks the 32nd round, and the team has already lost its chances of staying in the top division. Wolfsburg, on the other hand, continues to fight for survival, trying to cling to every point, but plays extremely inconsistently. What should we expect from the upcoming meeting?

Losses
In the upcoming match, Wolfsburg will be without two players - Nmecha and Bornauw. While the absence of the German striker will not affect Ralf Hasenhüttl's game plan (long-term injury), losing the main defender due to an accumulation of yellow cards can be considered critical.
Darmstadt is in a worse situation - seven players will miss the upcoming meeting. However, many of them have been in the infirmary for a long time and are not starting lineup players, but the absences of Seidel and Holland can be considered significant losses.

Head-to-head meetings
The history of head-to-head meetings between these teams is not rich - over the last 7 years, the rivals have met only once. The single meeting took place in December last year, and then Wolfsburg, despite being a man down, snatched an away victory (1-0). Betting on a “wolves” victory is available at 1.45.

Trends
- Wolfsburg scores at home in 17 out of the last 18 Bundesliga matches
- Darmstadt has not won away in 10 out of the last 11 matches
- Wolfsburg scores and concedes at home in 7 out of the last 8 Bundesliga matches

Fouls
The number of fouls by Wolfsburg this season is not that high (12.2), but they often commit fouls at the cost of yellow cards (2.6).
Darmstadt has similar statistics, and yellow cards reflect the severity of fouls and the level of discipline: if “the lilies” commit an average of 12.7 fouls per match, they receive 2.3 yellow cards.
Considering that the teams show roughly similar football, we recommend paying attention to over 3.5 yellow cards.

Corners
Wolfsburg is not the team that bombards opponents' goals. The “wolves” play more restrained, moreover, they will experience problems with creation, and a strong trend confirms this - Wolfsburg takes less than 6.5 corners in 9 out of the last 10 matches. You can bet on this at 1.62.

Team reviews
Wolfsburg relatively recently changed their coach, and the players are just getting used to Ralf Hasenhüttl. However, the team has started to show more cohesive football, pleasing its fans with victories and scoring a lot - in the last 5 out of 6 matches, the “wolves” scored at least once. The bet “Wolfsburg Total Goals Over (1.5)” is valued at 1.43.
Darmstadt, unfortunately, could not show competitive basketball: 17 points in 31 matches and an early relegation to Germany's second strongest division speaks volumes. The main reason for such a failure can be attributed to weak attacking play, which is confirmed by the trend - the team finished the game without scoring in the last 3 out of 4 matches. Betting that the visitors will not score again is available at 2.2.

Editorial Prediction
Wolfsburg is considered the obvious favorite of the upcoming match, but the team is still far from its optimal form. Considering that the “wolves” have scored and conceded at home in 7 out of the last 8 Bundesliga matches, we recommend betting on “Both to Score” at 1.85.
