The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Darmstadt 98 on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Darmstadt 98 will head into the Saturday clash on a big wave of confidence following their Werder Bremen away draw. They return home after keeping it level both at the halftime mark and after the final whistle despite being made overwhelming underdogs in their last game.

Augsburg’s performance in the first half against Freiburg was disheartening, considering they entered the field as slight favourites. However, they equalized in the last 45-minutes and proceeded to snag a narrow, but well-earned 2:1 away win.

A quick look at recent history shows us that Darmstadt 98 don’t tend to fare too well at Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor despite the home-field advantage. Results aside, they’ve conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone.

Augsburg’s home stadium have seen a lot of conceded goals recently – 6 in the last 3 games, to be exact. Considering they don’t have home-field advantage this time, most online sportsbooks are giving rather short odds on Over markets.

Darmstadt 98 will have to do better in what remains of the season if they wish to avoid relegation. This showdown is a perfect chance to prove they can do so, though actually winning the match will not be easy.

Augsburg already showed us that they can occasionally stumble. Their most recent clash with Darmstadt 98, which happened earlier in the season, ended in a loss despite most bookies seeing them as the favourites.

A Home or Draw pick on the Double Chance market covers most of your bases with this match. Keep in mind, though, that betting value at the odds of 1.57 with 1xbet is your main goal here. Success is not guaranteed.
