Darmstadt 98 vs. Holstein Kiel Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Darmstadt 98 and Holstein Kiel, taking place on Saturday, 07 March 2026, at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt.
Darmstadt 98, Recent Form
Any Darmstadt 98 pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 3-1 away defeat by Dynamo Dresden. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Dynamo Dresden who had 19 attempts and 7 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, and when playing at home this season, they've notched up 6 clean sheets in 12 games.
They've had a good run of home form recently, with 6 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 13 games.
Goalscorer Fraser Hornby will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Darmstadt 98.
Holstein Kiel, Recent Form
Holstein Kiel will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Elversberg, not least because of the valuable point gained. They came away from that fixture with a 53% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Elversberg, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 7 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row.
