Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Voith-Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Heidenheim and Darmstadt, the two bottom-table sides. Heidenheim failed to spoil Leipzig’s party at Red Bull Arena, but they are surely capable of matching Darmstadt in front of home fans. Eren Dinkci is back from suspension, while all Lennard Maloney, Thomas Keller, and Elidon Qenaj are out of contention with injuries.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Koln. Darmstadt, though, have been struggling on the travels this season and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Heidenheim’s party at Voith-Arena. Marvin Mehlem limped off with injury in the last league match, with Tobias Kempe likely to step up. All Matthias Bader, Christoph Zimmermann, Fraser Hornby, Braydon Manu, and Fabio Torsiello remain on the sidelines with injuries. In their last meeting in the German top flight Heidenheim defeated Darmstadt.
Highlighted Team (Darmstadt):
SV Darmstadt 98 are a professional football club that compete in the German Bundesliga. Darmstadt were founded in 1898 and the club’s original name was FC Olympia Darmstadt. In 1905 the club changed its’ name to Sportvererien Darmstadt 98. Die Lilien (The Lilies) play their home games at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor and the capacity of the ground is 17,000.
After spending 33 years in lower leagues, Darmstadt competed in the German Bundesliga in the 2015/2016 campaign, with the team finishing the season in 14th place in the standings, just two points clear of the relegation zone. Die Lilien wear blue shirts and white shorts and their main rivals are Kickers Offenbach.
The likes of Bruno Labbadia, Gino Lettieri, Zivojin Juskic, Kosta Runjaic, Lothar Buchmann are some of the most famous coaches that used to be in charge of the team in the past. It has to be noted that Darmstadt have won the Hesse Cup seven times (1966, 1999, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2013).
