Darmstadt vs Augsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | March 2nd 2024

The action continues in round 24 of the German Bundesliga as Darmstadt and Augsburg go head-to-head at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor on Saturday.

Having secured a 2-1 victory in October’s reverse fixtures, Torsten Lieberknecht’s men will head into the weekend looking to complete the double over the visitors and kickstart their push from the relegation zone.

Augsburg continue to scramble for points at the wrong end of the table as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion last Saturday.

Lieberknecht’s side have now failed to taste victory in 17 consecutive games across all competitions, losing 11 and claiming six draws since picking up three back-to-back wins in October.

With 12 points from 23 matches, Darmstadt are currently rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga standings, four points off 16th-placed Koln in the relegation playoff spot.

Elsewhere, Augsburg returned to winning ways last weekend when they fought back from behind to claim a 2-1 victory over Freiburg at the WWK Arena.

Prior to that, Jess Thorup’s men were on a run of four consecutive games without a win, claiming just two points from a possible 12 in that time.

Augsburg have picked up 25 points from their 23 Bundesliga matches so far to sit 11th in the league table but could move level with ninth-placed Freiburg with all three points on Saturday.
