Darmstadt vs Stuttgart Odds
Darmstadt Team News
The fate of “survival” for Darmstadt in the Bundesliga hangs in the balance, despite having three more months to play, due to their extremely poor performance as the bottom-placed team.
The Lilien were promoted at the end of last season, but with only two wins since returning to the top flight, they leave Torsten Lieberknecht’s team four points behind Cologne, who occupy the relegation playoff spot, and nine points behind Union Berlin, a position they must target to avoid danger. Only Mainz, second from bottom, has fewer wins than Darmstadt, and the team’s poor defense has contributed to a long winless streak in the competition since October.
The Lilien secured two consecutive victories against Werder Bremen and Augsburg, but since then, they have only managed to earn five points out of a possible 42, resulting in their league position. It is still unclear how this weekend will go for the division’s worst team after 21 matches, but four losses in their last five home games do not inspire much confidence.
Lieberknecht has several absences, with Mathias Honsak, Fraser Hornby, Braydon Manu, Clemens Riedel, and Aaron Seydel injured, while Tim Skarke and Matej Maglica are suspended. Additionally, Gerrit Holtmann is doubtful for Darmstadt, as well as Tobias Kemp and Thomas Isherwood, who are both ill.
Stuttgart Team News
Stuttgart has been unstoppable in the league since the beginning of this year, securing three wins and scoring 11 goals while conceding four. They achieved this without Serhou Guirassy, as the Guinean forward was unavailable due to his participation in the Africa Cup of Nations. Denis Undav has taken responsibility in Guirassy’s absence, and the Brighton loanee hopes to continue his good form despite the return of the main center-forward.
Sebastian Hoeness’s men are unlikely to contend for the title as they trail Bayern by seven points and Bayer Leverkusen by 12, but they have a chance for Champions League qualification, with competition from Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig trailing by three and five points, respectively. Stuttgart has not played a single draw away from home this season (five wins and as many losses in 10 matches), and their return to winning ways in their last away game against Freiburg should motivate them ahead of Saturday’s match.
Alexander Nubel is not expected back for Stuttgart until early March, while Nikolas Nartey and Dan-Axel Zagadou have knee injuries, with the latter not expected back until next season. Undav has scored goals in his last three Bundesliga appearances, including a first hat-trick in the competition against Leipzig at the end of January, and the Brighton loanee is expected to play a key role in the outcome of Saturday’s match.

Darmstadt vs Stuttgart Prediction
Stuttgart is the clear favorite in this match due to form, head-to-head record, and league standings, and anything but an away win would be a significant surprise. Despite Darmstadt having home advantage, we believe they will struggle to achieve a positive result in this match. Additionally, we expect the game to be more open, so our betting tip is a straightforward Stuttgart victory, with at least two goals scored in the entire match.
