Darmstadt vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (12 May)

Darmstadt's ordeal in the Bundesliga will end next week and it will end with a completely logical relegation to the 2.Bundesliga, just one year after its accession to the elite. Never able to compete with the other Bundesliga teams, Sportverein brings up the rear more than ever in the standings with only 17 points taken during the first 32 days. Beaten 7 times over the last 9 days, the Fleurs de Lys showed a small reaction of pride by winning against Cologne 0-2. But this short parenthesis quickly closed and the promoted team then suffered 2 new setbacks against Heidenheim 0-1 and Wolfsburg 3-0. On the other side of the median, Hoffenheim still has a great challenge to take on at the very end of the season.

This team is in 8th place in this Bundesliga and, with one game less, it is only 2 points behind the 7th place occupied by Friborg and which is potentially qualifying for the preliminary rounds of the Conference League. Unfortunately for him, the TSG still suffers from its chronic lack of regularity which has again manifested itself in recent weeks. Proof of this is that Hoffe's players were able to win against Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-3 before falling to Bochum 3-2. Finally, last week they got a good point against a good Leipzig team 1-1.

In Darmstadt, potential starters Bader, Holland, Riedel (defenders) will still not be available to play this match while defender Zimmermann is suspended. The less important Polter, Manu and Hornby complete a fairly extensive list of absentees.

Despite their team's major difficulties this season, the young Swedish prospect Vilhelmsson (4 goals) and the more experienced Skarke (8 goals) still managed to shine.
