Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
After rolling over Greuther Furth 5-1 at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer, Darmstadt will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Hertha Berlin on Matchday 12. Midfielder Fraser Hornby suffered an injury in the last league match, with Fynn Lakenmacher likely to step up. All Christoph Zimmermann, Paul Will, Matthias Bader, and Fabian Holland are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The capital club, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Koln. As the visitors are desperate to return to winning ways in the German second tier, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Defender Marton Dardai is banned for the visiting team, while all Linus Gechter, Jeremy Dudziak, John Anthony Brooks, Diego Demme, Toni Leistner, Michal Karbownik, and Marius Gersbeck are out of contention with injuries.
