Darmstadt will be looking to kickstart their surge from the bottom of the Bundesliga table when they visit the Weserstadion to face Werder Bremen on Saturday.
Having suffered a 4-2 loss in October’s reverse fixture, Ole Werner’s men will set out to get one over the visitors and edge closer to the European qualification places.
Werder Bremen resumed their push for a place in Europe as they picked up a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Koln at the RheinEnergieStadion last Friday.
This followed a somewhat disappointing 2-1 home defeat at the hands of Heidenheim on February 10 which saw their three-game winning streak come to an end.
