Prediction: Bayern Munich to win 5-0
Best Odds: 14/1
Darmstadt and Bayern Munich will lock horns with each other in the Bundesliga this weekend. The match between Die Lilien and Stern des Südens will be held at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor and is scheduled to kick off at 2:30 pm UK time on Saturday.
Darmstadt
Darmstadt won promotion from 2. Bundesliga at the end of last season. They finished second in the league table and are now playing in the Bundesliga. Just as expected, things have been dire for Darmstadt, who are set to end up in the second tier of the German league.
Torsten Lieberknecht’s side are at the foot of the Bundesliga table at the moment with 13 points from 25 matches. They are three points behind Mainz, who are second from bottom in the standings. It is hard to see Darmstadt go on a miraculous run and win all of their matches between now and the end of the season.
Darmstadt will head into the Bundesliga match against Bayern Munich on the back of a 2-0 defeat to RB Leipzig away from home in the league. It came after a 6-0 hammering at the hands of Augsburg in the Bundesliga which followed a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen on the road.
Team News:
Darmstadt are likely to line up in a 4-2-2-2 formation. Marcel Schuhen will be in goal for the home team. Tim Sharke, Christoph Klarer, Thomas Isherwood and Bartol Franjic will be the four defenders. Tobias Kempe and Andrea Muller will be the two holding midfielders. Julian Justvan and Gerrit Holtmann will be the two wingers. Fabio Torsiello and Oscar Wilhelmsson will be the two centre-forwards.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are the biggest club in Germany and have been the dominant force in German football for years now. They have arguably the best and strongest team in the Bundesliga, but Thomas Tuchel’s side have been really disappointing this season and are unlikely to win the title.
The Bavarian giants are second in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 57 points from 25 matches. Bayern are as many as 10 points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen, who have not lost a single game in the league this season. It is hard to see Xabi Alonso’s side collapse in the final weeks of the campaign.
Bayern will head into the Bundesliga match against Darmstadt on the back of an 8-1 victory over Mainz at the Allianz Arena in the league. It came after a 3-0 victory over Lazio at home in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie.
Team News:
Bayern Munich are likely to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Manuel Neuer will be in goal for the Bavarian giants. Joshua Kimmich, Matthijs de Ligt, Eric Dier and Alphonso Davies will be the four defenders. Konrad Laimer and Leon Goretzka will be the two holding midfielders. Leroy Sane, Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala will be the three attacking midfielders. Harry Kane will lead the line for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Key Factors to Consider
- Darmstadt have won just 2 out of their 25 Bundesliga matches so far this season.
- Darmstadt have conceded 60 goals in 25 Bundesliga matches so far this season.
- Bayern Munich have scored 73 goals in 25 Bundesliga games so far this campaign.
- Harry Kane has scored 30 goals and given 6 assists in 25 Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich this campaign.
- Leroy Sane has scored 8 goals and provided 11 assists in 24 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich this season.
Conclusion
Darmstadt have been the worst team in the Bundesliga this season and are pretty much set for relegation from the top flight of the German league. Bayern Munich have a far superior team and should find it extremely easy to win this weekend.
