Team News

Darmstadt
Leverkusen
  • Fabian Nürnberger has an ankle problem. Fraser Hornby and Braydon Manu are both ruled out with an ankle injury.
  • Clemens Riedel fractured his ankle last weekend and will be out for several months.
  • Odilon Kossounou is still away at AFCON with the Ivory Coast, but Edmond Tapsoba and Amine Adli have returned.
  • Exequiel Palacios is ruled out with a muscle injury for several weeks, while Victor Boniface could be out until early April. Arthur will be out for several months after suffering a setback on his recovery from a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • League leaders Leverkusen could only draw 0-0 against Gladbach last weekend to see their advantage dwindle to just two points ahead of Bayern.
  • Relegation-haunted Darmstadt field the most porous defence in the league with 47 goals against.
  • Darmstadt have garnered only four points over the last ten games, the worst run in the Bundesliga to slip inexorably to the bottom of the table.
  • Leverkusen won the reverse fixture 5-1 and should easily win this to maintain their slender advantage atop the table.
