Darmstadt play host to visiting rivals Hoffenheim at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor in their Bundesliga 1 clash on Sunday, so let’s look at the latest injury news and predicted line ups.
Darmstadt will be hoping to bounce back here after the 3-0 Bundesliga 1 loss in their previous game against VfL Wolfsburg. In all likelihood, Darmstadt may well kick off with a 3-4-1-2 system in the match, utilising Alexander Brunst, Jannik Müller, Christoph Klarer, Thomas Isherwood, Emir Karic, Andreas Müller, Marvin Mehlem, Fabian Nürnberger, Julian Justvan, Tim Skarke and Oscar Vilhelmsson.
Fabian Holland, Klaus Gjasula and Fraser Hornby will not be able to play for Darmstadt gaffer Torsten Lieberknecht. Christoph Zimmermann is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Possible Darmstadt team versus Hoffenheim
In their last fixture, Hoffenheim drew 1-1 in the Bundesliga 1 match with RB Leipzig. There’s a good chance that Hoffenheim appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-1-2 system using Oliver Baumann, Ozan Kabak, Florian Grillitsch, Kevin Akpoguma, Pavel Kaderabek, Grischa Prömel, Anton Stach, Marius Bülter, Andrej Kramaric, Ihlas Bebou and Maximilian Beier.
Hoffenheim manager Pellegrino Matarazzo has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Marco John (Cruciate ligament tear), Dennis Geiger (muscular problems), Mergim Berisha (Cruciate ligament tear) and Stanley Nsoki (Hip problems) can’t be considered.
