Our prediction for the Werder Bremen vs Darmstadt match
The "Musicians" made significant progress in the previous Bundesliga season. However, their luck ran out: Werder Bremen earned the same 42 points as the newly promoted team, Heidenheim, but due to additional criteria, they lost the 8th place and, consequently, a spot in the Conference League. Darmstadt, in the 2023/2024 season, tried their hand again in the Bundesliga but were relegated immediately, finishing last with a pitiful 17 points.
Currently, Werder has lost their position as a strong team. They are now a mid-tier club, winning only a third of their matches, losing an equal number, and conceding more than they score. Their most notable result was a draw against Stuttgart. The cup has been a brighter spot for them, with victories over modest teams like Energie and Paderborn. However, their opponent now is hardly a top-tier team either.
Darmstadt already made a coaching change early in the autumn after a poor start. They opted for the former Werder Bremen coach, Kofeldt, and this decision has started to pay off. As the autumn progressed, they began winning consistently, but in the last round, they were stopped by Preussen, ending in a draw.
