Darmstadt Team News

Darmstadt has returned to the Bundesliga for the fourth time after spending six years in the second division of German football. The team has only managed to maintain their top-flight status for two consecutive seasons once, and there’s no doubt they will give their all this season to at least equal that record.

However, based on their start in the current championship, Darmstadt faces a challenging task, as they are very close to the relegation zone after nine matches, specifically in the 14th position with just two points more than today’s opponent, Bochum. Darmstadt won two consecutive games (against Werder Bremen 4:2 and Augsburg 2:1) before suffering two defeats, first against Leipzig (1:3) and, in the previous round, a disastrous 8:0 loss to Bayern Munich. What makes this loss even more remarkable is that the score was 0:0 at halftime. It’s worth noting that Darmstadt found themselves in a good position in the first five minutes, as Bayern’s player Kimich received a direct red card. However, with two red cards on their side by halftime, the guests completely lost control of the match, leading to a convincing defeat.

Bochum Team News

Bochum, along with Mainz, is the only team in the Bundesliga that has not secured a victory in the current season. Such a performance by the visitors has led to a disappointing position on the table, as Bochum is currently in the relegation zone, in 16th place, with only five points earned and an overall goal difference of 8:23, making them one of the weakest defenses and least efficient teams in the league.

In the last five matches, Bochum has suffered three defeats. First, they were crushed by Bayern Munich with a 7:0 score, followed by losses to Monchengladbach and Freiburg. Additionally, they managed to secure two draws. The only positive aspect of this season so far is their match against RB Leipzig, where Bochum earned a point, largely thanks to the fact that the home team missed two penalties in that match.
