Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormIn their last match Bayer Leverkusen enforced their superiority over Borussia Monchengladbach with a 3-0 away win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 60%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 11 of which were on target, in contrast to Borussia Monchengladbach, who had 12 shots on goal with 2 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 10 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at BayArena.
They have been on a decent run of form lately at BayArena, going undefeated in 5 of their previous 6 games there and notching up 4 wins along the way.
Darmstadt 98, Recent FormThe Darmstadt 98 squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 4-1 home defeat at the hands of Union Berlin. They achieved 74% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Union Berlin's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Manager Torsten Lieberknecht will be looking to hit the reset button after his team's terrible performances in their last 6 games, having scored only 3 goals, conceded 14, and picked up a meagre 3 points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
Recent form is something they will be looking to turn around, having recorded 5 defeats from their last 6 matches.
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.

There is only really one injury concern for the Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht ahead of this clash, with Matej Maglica (Knock) missing out, which gives Lieberknecht a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
