Prediction published on 02/03/2024, 00:43  by Joseph King in Bundesliga Predictions

Matchday 24 in the German Bundesliga sees bottom of the table Darmstadt hosting 11th-place Augsburg. The horror run continues for Darmstadt who have now gone 16 consecutive Bundesliga matches without a victory. The run has them rooted to the bottom of the standings with 13 points from 23 matches. Despite their awful run of form, all hope is not lost for Torsten Lieberknecht’s men as a victory here would have them right back in the relegation fight. Darmstadt trails 17th-place Mainz by just two points and 16th-placed Koln by four points. They can take some confidence from the fact that their last victory, one of only two total in the league season, came against Augsburg in a 2-1 match back in October, 2023. Darmstadt will have to improve their porous defense if they are to have a shot at victory as the Lilies have allowed 53 goals scored so far, the highest amount in the division.

Augsburg have a comfortable nine-point lead over the relegation zone as their record of six wins, eight draws and nine defeats has them positioned 11th with 26 points. They’re coming off an excellent come from behind win over Freiburg which saw Fuggerstädter score the equalizer in the 72nd minute and the eventual winner in the 81st minute to secure the 2-1 victory. It was a well-deserved result for Augsburg as they dominated the match, finishing with 63% possession, 16 shots to their opponent’s four and 2.01 expected goals to 0.55. The victory snapped a four game winless run for the visitors who will now be aiming to make it back-to-back wins for just the second time this season. Augsburg are the only team in the division yet to keep a clean sheet, conceding in all 23 matches so far for a total of 41 goals allowed.
