Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Sunday’s football game between Darmstadt and Heidenheim will bring down the curtain on the Bundesliga round 31. The Lilywhites desperately needed a win against Koln and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their dreadful winless run, but they are still with one foot in the 2. Bundesliga. Klaus Gjasula has joined the likes of Aaron Seydel, Fabian Schnellhardt, Fabian Holland, Alexander Brunst, Braydon Manu, Marvin Mehlem, and Fraser Hornby in the recovery room.
Omar Traore is banned for the match, while all Lennard Maloney, Marnon Busch, Adrian Beck, Thomas Keller, and Elidon Qenaj are out of contention with injuries. Anyhow, home win should be considered as the relegation-threatened hosts face a must-win situation in Sunday’s encounter. In the first half of the season Heidenheim defeated Darmstadt 3-2, meaning that the hosts are eager to get their revenge on the visiting side.
