Borussia Dortmund vs Darmstadt Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 18/05/2024, 01:04  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

Borussia Dortmund will have their eyes on the upcoming Champions League final, but they are unlikely to leave anything to chance when they finish the season against Darmstadt. This Bundesliga matchday 34 fixture at Signal Iduna Park on Saturday will be between two sides whose league seasons have already finished. Dortmund are set to finish fifth in the standings irrespective of their result here, which is enough to qualify for the Champions League next season. They have this season’s Champions League final coming up early next month, which should be their priority. That hasn’t stopped them from racking up wins, having won three of their last four competitive matches. That said, the hosts have stuttered a bit in recent matches, winning only two of their last six league games. Even their home form has stuttered, with only two wins from their last five home league games.

Darmstadt are already set for the second division, having been relegated with only 17 points so far, with three wins, eight draws, and 22 defeats. One of those losses was a 3-0 defeat in the reverse fixture. Even recent form hasn’t improved for the visitors, who have lost five of their last six league games, winning only once. Each of those defeats has come without scoring, and that remains a problem for them. In fact, Darmstadt have scored just 30 goals all season. Their away form could be of concern for the home team, as they have avoided defeat in four of their last seven away league games. That included a 2-0 win over Cologne, which suggests the visitors could trouble the hosts and end their season on a high.
