Prediction published on 17/02/2024, 00:52  by Kennedy Kechula in Bundesliga Predictions

Bundesliga’s bottom placed side Darmstadt and third placed Stuttgart have all to play for when they meet in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Darmstadt, the hosts have the chance to rise from the bottom, dependent on other results. In this game they will be seeking a first win in 15 matches. The home team picked up a point in their latest outing, a 0-0 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach. While it was a welcome break after two straight defeats, they went three games without a goal. In the last five matches, Darmstadt have managed just two goals. The last time they registered a win was early in October, beating Augsburg 2-1. In the 14 matches that have followed, Darmstadt bagged just five points from a possible 42. At this moment in time, Die Lilien will be concerned over how they turn their situation around. They have won just two of their 21 league games. Their tally of wins isn’t the lowest in the league but their losses (13) are the most. Among these losses was a 3-1 reverse against Stuttgart in September.

Stuttgart have been on and off in recent weeks but here they should be clear favorites, as they face the bottom placed side. A 3-1 win over another struggling side, Mainz in their last game places them on a confident footing coming here. They had to come from behind in their first meeting with Darmstadt this season and will want it easier this time. Sehrou Guirassy scored twice in that win, and he is back from AFCON to lift his side. Having gone on a goal drought since December, the Guinean forward will hope to rediscover his form in this game. In their recent four matches, Stuttgart have lost just once, a German Cup game against Bayer Leverkusen. Coming into this game, they have three straight wins in Bundesliga and scored three or more in each. Deniz Undav has been the star of the team with five goals in the three matches, as Guirassy missed in action.
