Team News

Union Berlin
Darmstadt
  • Aïssa Laïdouni is away at AFCON with Tunisia. Captain Rani Khedira has a niggly calf problem.
  • Josip Juranovic has a muscle injury, while Kevin Volland went off with concussion in midweek.
  • Marvin Mehlem has a fractured fibula and will be out for several months.
  • Fraser Hornby and Braydon Manu are both ruled out with an ankle injury. Aaron Seydel has a calf injury.

Prediction

  • A genuine relegation six-pointer, with Union coming off a narrow 1-0 defeat against Bayern in midweek, which still leaves them uncomfortably close to relegation strife.
  • Relegation-haunted Darmstadt field the most porous defence in the league with 46 goals against and remain rooted to the bottom.
  • Darmstadt have garnered only four points over the last nine games, the worst run in the Bundesliga, but did at least fight back from two goals down last weekend to snatch a draw.
  • Union won the reverse fixture 4-1 and the capital city side should have the quality to comfortably win this on home soil.
