Darmstadt vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-03-15 14:30.
[p]The outlook appears rather bleak for rock-bottom Darmstadt, who were soundly beaten 2-0 by Leipzig last weekend to finish the round once again at the foot of the standings, 12 points adrift of definite safety. That loss means that the Lilies have conceded eight unanswered goals across a pair of defeats, a trend which is unlikely to improve as they welcome reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich. [/p]
[p]Last weekend’s loss made it 18 league matches without a win for Darmstadt (D6, L12), which is unsurprisingly the club’s longest ever top-flight winless streak and one which looks to inevitably lead to relegation. Damningly, the hosts are one of just two sides in the division to take more points on the road than at home this season, an uninspiring stat as they prepare to welcome a side they have never beaten in a top-flight H2H (D1, L8).    [/p]
[p]The latest of Bayern’s eight wins over Darmstadt was an 8-0 thrashing in the reverse H2H. That’s a haunting result indeed when considering that Bayern became the first side since Mönchengladbach in 1967/68 to score 8+ goals twice in the same Bundesliga campaign when they demolished Mainz 8-1 last weekend. The Bavarians have never posted a larger winning margin this millennium than they did in the reverse fixture, but this could be an opportunity given the gulf in class. [/p]
[p]Regardless of the margin, three points is what Bayern desperately crave, with their pursuit of a 12th successive Bundesliga title looking to be in vain at this stage as Leverkusen remain ten points clear at the peak ahead of the round. A torrid recent away record perhaps explains why they find themselves on the brink of relinquishing their title, as they travel here on the back of an almost unheard of four straight winless competitive away games (D1, L3). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Bit-part Darmstadt forward Aaron Seydel is their only scorer across their last three home games, highlighting the dearth of attacking options at their disposal. In contrast, Bayern have an embarrassment of riches in that department, exemplified by Harry Kane, who scored his fourth hat-trick of the season last weekend, one of which came against Darmstadt in the reverse. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Bayern Munich have kept just three clean sheets across their 12 away league games this season. [/p]
