Darmstadt vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

SV Darmstadt should not be able to establish themselves at the highest level of German football for very long. Much too soft, this team brings up the rear in the Bundesliga standings with only 11 points taken after 19 days. More problematic, it is quite considerably behind by 6 points on the first non-relegation team which has a match in hand.

Not really revived by the winter break, the Fleurs de Lys have already lost twice in their 3 matches played in 2024. Beaten by Dortmund 0-3, the promoted side were able to take a point against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 before losing to Union Berlin 1-0 last weekend.

Several elements are still missing from this Darmstadt team. These are the midfielder Nurnberger, the relatively unprolific attackers Hornby and Seydel, the defender Isherwood and the replacement midfielder Justvan. Left injured last weekend, central defender Riedel will also have to withdraw this weekend.

Offensively, striker Skarke remains one of the rare satisfactions of this team in all competitions. Too little used during the first part of the season, the replacements Ronstadt and Stojilkovic left to seek playing time at Kaiserslautern.
