Darmstadt vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips (16 March)

The carrots seem well and truly cooked for Darmstadt, which has one foot and four toes in the 2nd division. Despite a rather decent start to the season, the newly promoted players were quickly caught up by their limitations and they have had a series of poor performances for too long to hope to retain their place at the highest level of German football. Dead last, their only hope is to snatch 16th place, synonymous with the play-offs, but they are still 5 points behind Cologne before this 26th day. On the street, the Fleurs de Lys were able to take a small point against Werder Bremen 1-1 before suffering 2 completely logical defeats against Augsburg 0-6 and Leipzig 2-0. Bayern Munich, for its part, will undoubtedly have to savor these last weeks of competition as reigning German champion because this situation should not last.

Indeed, Thomas Tuchel's men are relegated to 2nd place in the Bundesliga, 10 points behind the ruthless leader, Bayer Leverkusen. Winners over Leipzig 2-1, the Bavarians were then held by Freiburg 2-2 before losing their nerve over Mainz 8-1 last week. In the meantime, they were able to overcome Lazio Rome in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, losing 1-0 in the first leg, winning 3-0 in the return.

On the bottom side, the relatively unprolific attackers Hornby and Seydel, the replacement midfielder Manu, the defenders Riedel and Bader and the senior midfielders Melhem (3 goals), Honsak, Nürnberger and Schnellhardt still fill the ranks of a well-established infirmary. filled. The newly promoted can, however, count on the services of striker Skarke (6 goals) and midfielder Kempe (3 goals) who, despite their good start to the respective season, are in the process of diving like their team. Absent last week due to a suspension, midfielder Pavlovic will be back.

On the other hand, the French international Coman, the replacement goalkeeper Peretz, the replacements Sarr and Buchmann, the Moroccan full-back Mazraoui and the French piston who arrived this winter, Sacha Boey will still not be available to Thomas Tuchel, all injured. Author of a new hat-trick against Mainz, the prolific Harry Kane has passed the mark of 30 goals scored this season in the Bundesliga. The very promising Musiala (8 goals, 5 assists), the very bon Sané (8 goals, 11 assists) will be there as will winger Gnabry who celebrated his return from injury with a goal last week.
