Stuttgart’s Skyward Surge vs Darmstadt’s Desperate Duel: An Exciting Bundesliga Showdown
Key Stats
– Darmstadt have failed to secure victory in their last five away games.
– Stuttgart could accumulate almost a third of their last season’s points in just five games if they win.
Stuttgart have roared into the new Bundesliga campaign, eyeing top spot after a compelling string of results. In the wake of narrowly avoiding relegation last season, they’ve taken the league by storm, notching up three victories from their first four encounters. A considerable factor behind this resurgence is their 14-goal haul, the highest in the Bundesliga currently.
An instrumental figure in this stellar display has been the lethal Serhou Guirassy. The striker has astonishingly netted eight times already, including a memorable hat-trick against Mainz 05. With such impetus, Sebastian Hoeness’s squad is animated about possibly ruling the league by the end of the weekend. What’s more, this would mean they’ve accumulated almost one-third of last season’s entire point tally in just five games!

The Mercedes-Benz Arena has been a fortress for Stuttgart, who’ve enjoyed comprehensive 5-0 victories against Bochum and Freiburg, showcasing their dominance at home. However, their previous duel with Darmstadt at this ground ended in a 3-1 defeat. Can they overturn this memory?
Darmstadt’s Struggles Back in the Top Flight
Contrasting Stuttgart’s soaring form, Darmstadt’s return to the Bundesliga hasn’t gone as envisaged. With a solitary point from four matches, they are still yearning for their inaugural victory of the season. Their latest game teased a breakthrough as they led 3-0 against Borussia Monchengladbach, thanks to goals from Mehlem, Maglica, and Skarke. Yet, a red card early in the second half and a stunning comeback from Monchengladbach ensured shared spoils.
The woes don’t end here. Darmstadt’s away record is equally concerning. Since March, they’ve celebrated victory just twice in ten competitive away matches, and their current drought stands at five.
Team News & Predicted Line-ups
For Stuttgart, injuries will see Vagnoman, Nartey, and Kastanaras miss out, while Jeong represents South Korea in the Asian Games. The line-up is expected to remain largely unchanged. The top-scorer, Guirassy, will undoubtedly lead the attack, supported by a robust midfield and defence.
Darmstadt will miss Maglica due to suspension and Pfeiffer because of loan conditions. Injuries have also side-lined Hornby, Torsiello, Zimmermann, and Manu. Given these absences, the team might see Gjasula in the back three and either Isherwood or Riedel in the starting eleven. Mehlem, with two goals this season, remains crucial in midfield.
Expert Analysis & Predictions
Analysing the performances and statistics of both teams, some clear trends emerge:
- Victory Favouring the Hosts: Stuttgart’s home form is impeccable, and they’ve shown resilience even after losing key players. Their 53.8% ball possession and an average of 3.5 goals per match depict their dominance. Considering Darmstadt’s poor away form and a mere 44.3% ball possession, Stuttgart gaining three points seems likely.
- Correct Score Prediction – 3-1 to Stuttgart: Based on current performances and stats, Stuttgart could again score multiple goals, especially with Guirassy’s exceptional form. However, considering Darmstadt’s potential to score (with an average of 1.3 goals per game), they might get a consolation goal.
- Goalscorer Prediction – Serhou Guirassy: With an average BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 8.40 and eight goals already, Guirassy is the hot favourite to find the net.
