Prediction: 0-2
Stuttgart
Following a goalless draw with Borussia M’gladbach, Darmstadt will look to put an end to their 14-game winless run when they take on Stuttgart in the Bundesliga round 22. The Lilywhites are stuck at the bottom with only 12 points on their account and they are likely to go all guns blazing at die Schwaben. Darmstadt have been struggling in front of goal of late and it is no wonder the bookies see them as underdogs in Saturday’s encounter. As both Tim Skarke and Matej Maglica are banned for the match, home win should not be considered.
Stuttgart, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the German top flight and given their excellent goal-scoring form, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. In the first half of the season Stuttgart defeated Darmstadt 3-1. The likes of Deniz Undav, Alexander Nubel, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Nikolas Nartey are out of contention with injuries, speaking of the away team.
Highlighted Player (Waldemar Anton):
The Uzbekistan-born central defender plays at the heart of Hannover’s defense. His idol was Roy Maakay, so he started his career as a striker, but he soon turned to defense. Anton Waldemar was a mere teenager when he made his first appearance for Die Roten in February 2016 against VfB Stuttgart.
Waldemar only had to wait for two months to net his first goal against Borussia Monchengladbach. The following season he commanded Hannover’s defense in Bundesliga 2, making 31 appearances, helping his team to return to the top flight immediately after the relegation.
Even though he was born in Olmaliq, Uzbekistan, Waldemar decided to pledge allegiance to Germany, debuting for the U21 squad in September 2016, making 7 appearances so far. The press in Germany compare him to Javi Martinez from Bayern Munich, because Anton Waldemar can play in the heart of defense, as well as a defensive midfielder and a right-back.
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.
