Game Preview
On December 16, Darmstadt will play Wolfsburg at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor in the upcoming round of the Bundesliga.
After losing 3-2 on the road to fellow promoted team Heidenheim last weekend, Darmstadt’s winless streak in the Bundesliga now stands at 7 games. It was their 9th league loss of the year. Lennard Maloney’s own goal gave them a 2-1 lead going into the last 30 minutes, but a pair of goals in the space of two minutes from defender Patrick Mainka gave Heidenheim the lead. Torsten Lieberknecht’s team has dropped from 16th place to the bottom of the Bundesliga table after Union Berlin’s triumph against Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend and a goalless tie between Koln and Mainz 05. However, a victory in this game might be enough to pull them out of the danger zone. Speaking for the away team, all of Marvin Mehlem, Christoph Zimmermann, Braydon Manu, and Fraser Hornby are out due to injury, but defender Matej Maglica is most likely to make a comeback to the starting lineup.
Wolfsburg started the 2023–24 season strong, winning 4 of their initial 6 Bundesliga games. However, after winning only 1 of their last 8 matches and losing 3 of their previous 4 the team has since fallen far behind in the top flight rankings. They were unable to move past their heartbreaking overtime loss to Monchengladbach in the DFB-Pokal semifinals, as they lost 1-0 at home to Freiburg in the Bundesliga in their last game. With his Wolfsburg team now sitting 15th in the Bundesliga and just 6 points above the bottom 3, manager Niko Kovac is starting to feel the pressure of a potential relegation struggle. Maximilian Arnold, a midfielder, is suspended, while Amin Sarr, Patrick Wimmer, Lukas Nmecha, Rogerio, and all of them are still out due to injury.
