Darmstadt will host Freiburg at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have endured a rather difficult campaign and now look set to make an immediate return to the second tier. They were thrashed 4-0 by Mainz last time out and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match.
Darmstadt sit rock-bottom in the league table with just 14 points from 28 games and will be desperate to add to that tally this weekend and begin one final push for survival.
Freiburg have also hit a rough patch in the league of late and are now falling behind in the race for continental football. They were beaten 4-1 on home turf by RB Leipzig in their last match, finding themselves four goals down in the second half before substitute Vincenzo Grifo netted a consolation strike from outside the area.
The visitors sit mid-table in ninth place with 36 points picked so far and will now be looking to get their campaign back on track with a win on Sunday.
