RB Leipzig vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

RB Leipzig was unable to keep pace in the title race and must now save the furniture by snatching a place in the top 4, synonymous with qualification for the next Champions League. Still involved in this competition, this team went to Real Madrid this week where they wanted to turn the situation around after their 0-1 first leg defeat. But despite a great performance at the Bernabeu 1-1, she did not manage to secure qualification, not really helped by the refereeing. On the national scene, Marco Rose's men are in 5th position in the ranking with only one point behind 4th place. Winners of Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0, the Red Bulls then had to lose at the very end of the match against Bayern 2-1 before bouncing back very well by largely dominating Bochum 1-4 last weekend.

For their part , Darmstadt will undoubtedly have to pack their bags and return where they came from, to the second division. Never able to exist this year, the promoted side have only taken 13 points during the 24 days played this season and they are far too far behind by 12 points on the first non-relegation team. The only chance for the Fleurs de Lys would be to be able to reach the relegation play-offs but they are once again 4 points behind the 16th. The trend is not one of optimism for this team which remains with 2 setbacks in 3 days played against Stuttgart 1-2, at Werder Bremen 1-1 and especially against Augsburg 0-6 last week.

If we put aside the executive defender Klostermann who remains in the infirmary, Marco Rose should be able to count on all of his strength to prepare this poster. Indeed, midfielder Schlager is back after being suspended and goalkeeper Gulacsi has recovered from his abdominal injury. Suspended in C1, the French defender Simakan will be very fit.

Again scoring against Bochum, Belgian striker Openda scored his 17th goal of the season in the Bundesliga but he lacked efficiency against Real in C1. The Dutchman Xavi Simons (6 goals, 8 assists), the Slovenian Sesko (7 goals), the Dane Poulsen (4 goals) and the Spaniard Dani Olmo (3 goals, 4 assists) are also rather prominent this year.
