Darmstadt
Borussia M’gladbach will be looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich when they take on Darmstadt in the Bundesliga round 21. Die Fohlen are eager to put an end to their three-match winless run and they are surely capable of matching the Lilywhites in front of home fans. Ko Itakura is back from suspension, while all Alassane Plea, Tomas Cvancara, Patrick Hermann, Lukas Ullrich, Hannes Wolf, and Jonas Omlin continue to miss out with injuries.
Darmstadt, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom with only 11 points on their account. The rock-bottom side have suffered three defeats in the previous four league matches, meaning that Borussia M’gladbach will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. As for the away team, both Thomas Isherwood and Julian Justvan are major doubts, while the likes of Matej Maglica, Gerrit Holtmann, Fabian Nurnberger, Clemens Riedel, Mathias Honsak, Fraser Hornby, and Braydon Manu are sidelined with injuries.
