Darmstadt 98, Recent FormThe Darmstadt 98 squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 away defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Eintracht Frankfurt's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 10 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have had a strong run of form at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Luca Pfeiffer will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Darmstadt 98.
Union Berlin, Recent FormIn their last match Union Berlin enforced their superiority over Mainz 05 with a 4-1 home win. In that game they recorded 46 % of the possession, with 11 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
On an individual basis, Kevin Behrens will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Union Berlin's last 6 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 2-1 win for Darmstadt 98.
Darmstadt will be confident of finding the net in this one against Die Eisernen, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. We have seen plenty of goals from Die Lilien when they play at home against Union. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game.
Playing at home, Darmstadt have won the last 3 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Union in the league.
With no real injury worries, Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Urs Fischer has a number of injury concerns in his Union squad to contend with: Janik Haberer (Knock), Rani Khedira (Calf), András Schäfer (Foot) and Lucas Tousart (Hip)
