The race for a European finish in the Bundesliga this term will make for compelling viewing. Borussia Dortmund are among the sides that have ground the make up at the half-way stage, and they will be favored to resume their campaign by landing maximum points at Darmstadt.

Before Betting On Darmstadt vs Borussia Dortmund

It hasn’t been the start to the season that Borussia Dortmund would have been hoping for, as the German side sits fifth in the current Bundesliga standings, and they are already out of the race for the top-flight this term. Dortmund have won just once across their last five matches in the competition, and they are without a victory in their last four in the Bundesliga.

However, they will be favored in the betting this weekend against a Darmstadt side that have won just twice all term. That record sees them sit bottom of the Bundesliga standings at this stage. Meanwhile, they have allowed more goals than any other side in the competition. However, a victory this weekend could lift them to within striking distance of safety.

Dortmund have bossed fixtures against sides sitting at the bottom of the Bundesliga standings, losing just once in their last 17 efforts. However, their only defeat did come against Darmstadt in February 2017. Darmstadt’s tally of ten points at this stage is their second-worst start to a Bundesliga campaign.

Dortmund have also made one of their weakest seasons in recent history, as they have picked up just 27 points from their opening 16 matches. Meanwhile, they have conceded 25 goals already this term, which is their most since 2007-08. Dortmund will need to bounce back after winning just once across their last eight. Only the bottom two in the standings have collected less points over the same period.
