Darmstadt vs Hoffenheim Prediction 12 May 2024

Match Preview

Darmstadt and Hoffenheim will lock horns at the Bellenfalltor this weekend for matchday 33 in the Bundesliga, and thanks to both teams’ current form, Hoffenheim are the clear favourites to get the win. It has been a horrid season for Lilia, as Torsten Lieberknecht's men have only fetched out 17 points the entire season, which aren't enough to help them avoid relegation.

Losses

Darmstadt have around 6 players out injured, but it's clear that the only critical losses are the absences of Holland (knee injury) and Zimmermann (too many yellow cards).

Hoffenheim's injury list is shorter, as they only have 4 players out of action with injury concerns. However, all four injured stars aren't important players and have not participated in matches for a very long time.

Head-to-head meetings

Both teams met against each other for the first time this season, and the match took place in December last year. However, Darmstadt and Hoffenheim fought for every ball, as the encounter ended in an entertaining 3-3 draw. Is there a chance both teams will share the spoils in the return leg? A draw looks like a very interesting option.

Trends

  • Darmstadt conceded at least one goal in 15 of their last 16 home matches.
  • Hoffenheim conceded at least one goal in 26 of their last 27 away matches.
Fouls

Darmstadt have a reputation of making tough tackles, and they don't hesitate to display their intense football against any side. On average, they committed 12.7 fouls per match. Thanks to their rough play, it's not a surprise that they are among the La Liga teams who have collected more yellow cards this season - averaging 2.3 yellow cards per match.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, are not as fond of committing a good number of fouls as Darmstadt, but are somewhat unlucky when it comes to getting on the ref's book, as they average 10.2 fouls and 2.4 yellow cards per game.

Considering that 6 “mustard plasters” were shown at once in the first round, we advise you to pay attention to the total of more than 3.5 yellow cards.

Corner

Darmstadt performed poorly in the majority of this season, and that's largely due to the lack of creativity in their team. It doesn't raise any eyebrow that Lilies are one of the worst teams in terms of the number of corners earned - 3.4 corners per game. In this situation, you can bet on Corners - Darmstadt Total less (4.5).

Team Reviews

Darmstadt have been relegated to the lower division after they failed to arrest their run of horrendous performances this season. The Lilies have one of the worst defenses in the top flight, which doesn't come as a surprise that they have only managed three wins in the league this term so far. They continued their horrifying form when they were heavily trounced 3-0 by Wolfsburg. Torsten Lieberknecht's side has struggled to score goals lately, as they went blank in 4 of their last 5 matches. We advise you to pay attention to Darmstadt Total goals under (0.5).

Hoffenheim are inconsistent, which suggests they are capable of beating any side in their best days and lose to the worst sides in their bad days. Despite their inconsistency, Hoffenheim haven't struggled to score goals - which suggests that backing Hoffenheim Total goals over (1.5) is a great idea as they score at least two goals in 3 of their last 5 matches.

Editorial prediction

Darmstadt may have been relegated to the Bundesliga 2 since, but the team continues to find how they can upset their opponents, who are still looking for important points. Yes, the hosts fail to do a lot, they miss a lot, but sometimes there are glimpses in attack. Hoffenheim plays one of the most entertaining football in Germany, they play open football, and they are always a joy to watch. Considering that 6 out of 7 Hoffenheim last 7 away matches with over 3.5 goals, it is quite possible to expect this match to produce four or more goals.
