Our Prediction for Freiburg vs Darmstadt
The club from Breisgau was in contention for a Champions League spot last season, but ultimately finished fifth, just a couple of points behind Borussia Dortmund. As a result, they went to the less prestigious Europa League, where they hardly dropped any points, though they were held to a draw by Viktoria Plzen. In the Bundesliga, things have been much more modest for Schuster's men. They scored twice against Bayern, but lost 2-6. However, they thrashed Mainz 4-0.
The team from Hesse was relegated from Bundesliga 1 in 2024, dropping to twelfth place in the second division. This season, however, they've shown improvement, winning half of their matches so far. They defeated Greuther Fürth 4-2, but then only managed a draw with Elversberg.
Eggestein and company beat Sportfreunde Lotte 2-0 in mid-August. A month later, they claimed an equally confident 3-1 victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf. Under Kohfeldt, Darmstadt beat Lübeck 2-1 in the summer and recently thrashed Schalke 4-0 at home, securing the result by the 60th minute.
