Darmstadt’s relegation from the Bundesliga seems imminent even as they prepare to host Freiburg on Match Day 29. Sitting 12 points adrift of safety, Darmstadt will be seeking their third league win of the season, against ninth placed Freiburg. The hosts have a really slim margin as they try to salvage their season. On Saturday, they suffered their 18th loss of the Bundesliga season, falling 4-0 at Mainz. Should Darmstadt pull through this relegation fight, it will be a historic one. They last posted a win in October 2023, which effectively tells the story of their Bundesliga return. Die Lilien have only beaten Augsburg and Werder Bremen in the league this season, both wins coming in October. The loss to Mainz marked their sixth match in 10 that they failed to score. It was also the seventh in 10 that they conceded more than a goal in. With nine losses in 11 home matches, it will pass as a big surprise if Darmstadt avoid defeat here.

After playing in the Europa League this season, Freiburg will be looking to secure another ticket for Europe. As things stand, however, that is not happening. They are ninth in the standings on 36 points, six below the closest European football slot. A 4-1 loss to Leipzig in their last game further dampened their hopes for European football. They’ll be looking at this game as a chance to make up for the lost points. Freiburg dropped points against Darmstadt in the reverse fixture, which ended 1-1 and they’ll want to avoid a repeat. Though they come here with a much better run than Darmstadt, their recent form hasn’t been great. Freiburg have suffered three defeats in their last four matches. However, they do have three wins in the last six matches. In their last away match, they thrashed Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 for the second win in three away matches. Half of their wins this season have actually come in away matches.
