SV Darmstadt vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions
[wptb id=395917]
Battling to Break the Slump
Key Stats
– Monchengladbach have maintained a scoring streak in their last four away ventures.
– Darmstadt’s defence has been porous, with 13 goals conceded in merely four matches this season.
As the new Bundesliga season gradually unfurls, two teams aiming to reclaim their lost glory this weekend are SV Darmstadt 98 and Borussia Monchengladbach. When the whistle blows at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor on Sunday, both teams will be fuelled with the determination to put an end to their rocky season kick-offs. The home team, Darmstadt, have experienced the bitter taste of three straight losses in the league, while the visiting Monchengladbach side remains winless from their trio of opening matches.
Recent Face-Offs and Setbacks
In a recent friendly, Monchengladbach faced a subtle 1-0 downfall against Werder Bremen, with Justin Njinmah breaking their resolve just minutes before the final whistle. This disappointment was a sequel to a previous heart-wrenching 2-1 loss to the title holders, Bayern Munich. The result sees Monchengladbach precariously hanging at the 16th spot on the Bundesliga ladder.

Darmstadt, on the other hand, haven’t been having the best time either. Despite their lone triumph against Monchengladbach in the previous seven face-offs, the recent memory of a 2-1 defeat in the DFB-Pokal looms large. Their latest encounter saw them on the receiving end of a 5-1 drubbing from Bayer Leverkusen. The stark reality is that they are the only team in the Bundesliga yet to register a point this season. Positioned at the base of the table, a victory at home is essential to reignite their campaign.
Injuries and Team Dynamics
Unfortunately for Darmstadt, injuries have not been kind. The list includes the likes of Alexander Brunst, Fabian Nurnberger, and Christoph Zimmermann. Additionally, Mathias Honsak and Fraser Hornsby will be absentees due to their respective health concerns. For Monchengladbach, Kouadio Kone’s absence continues, while Joe Scally’s potential return might be a silver lining.
The expected lineup for Darmstadt features players like Schuhen, Vilhelmsson, and Pfeiffer, while Monchengladbach might field Nicolas, Weigl, and Ngoumou among others.
Analysing the Key Players
Shifting focus to the BettingTips4You Expert Rating, Fabian Nürnberger leads the pack for Darmstadt with a 7.23 rating, followed closely by Marvin Mehlem at 7.20. Mehlem, in fact, is also one of the top goal-scorers for the side. Meanwhile, Monchengladbach’s Moritz Nicolas boasts a commendable 7.60 rating, with Tomáš Čvančara being their leading goal-scorer.
Predictions
- A Struggle for Victory: Given the form and the stats at hand, predicting a straight winner isn’t straightforward. Darmstadt’s home form has been woeful, losing three of their last four. However, Gladbach’s recent matches show they can score, even on the road. Therefore, our prediction leans towards both teams to score.
- Scoreline Forecast: Basing the prediction on recent performances, a 2-1 victory for Monchengladbach seems plausible. Darmstadt’s vulnerable defence, having conceded 13 goals this term, combined with Gladbach’s decent offensive record away from home, supports this potential scoreline.
- Who Will Find the Net?: Given the season’s stats, Tomáš Čvančara from Monchengladbach seems a likely candidate to score in the match.
