1899 Hoffenheim, Recent FormThe 1899 Hoffenheim players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against RB Leipzig recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat. They achieved 43% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against RB Leipzig's tally of 22 efforts at goal, 10 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 11, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their the last 10 games at home.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at The PreZero Arena, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Wout Weghorst 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 1899 Hoffenheim.
Darmstadt 98, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Wolfsburg will have left the Darmstadt 98 squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. Wolfsburg had 11 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Having scored 4 goals and conceded 8 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 14 of their 15 games overall.
A win for Darmstadt 98 is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 8 games.
Tim Skarke will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against 1899 Hoffenheim in this match, having already scored 2 goals in his last 6 away games for Darmstadt 98.
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 2-0 win for 1899 Hoffenheim.
Andrej Kramarić has scored in each of Hoffenheim's last 2 league games against Darmstadt.
Hoffenheim manager Pellegrino Matarazzo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ihlas Bebou (Knee), Maximilian Beier (Cold), Mërgim Berisha (Cruciate ligament), Bambasé Conté (Groin strain), Dennis Geiger (Groin), Florian Grillitsch (Knock), Marco John (Cruciate ligament), Diadie Samassékou (Illness), Anton Stach (Knee), Umut Tohumcu (Ankle), Kevin Vogt (Illness) and Wout Weghorst (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Torsten Lieberknecht has a number of injury concerns in his Darmstadt squad to contend with: Fabian Holland (Illness), Fraser Hornby (Ankle), Braydon Manu (Ankle), Marvin Mehlem (Broken leg), Fabian Nürnberger (Ankle) and Christoph Zimmermann (Ankle)
