Darmstadt vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Darmstadt Form

A single point is all Darmstadt can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, before getting trounced 0-6 against Augsburg while RB Leipzig won 2-0. Darmstadt didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Bundesliga games at the Merck-Stadion am Boellenfalltor. They have a record of one draws and five defeats, in which they conceded 16 and scored three goals.

Bayern Munich Form

Bayern Munich look well suited to take on any opponent with seven points to show off from three matches. They started off drawing 2-2 with Freiburg, before downing first Lazio by 3-0, then Mainz 05 in a 8-1 win. Bayern Munich won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga. The scoreline from these matches says 16 goals conceded and ten scored.

We don't expect Darmstadt to pull off a surprise, and with goals flowing freely, they could be in for a hammering against strong looking Bayern Munich.

Darmstadt fought their way to zero wins and one points from their last ten games against teams inside the top six. They were on target six times in these matches, but also let in 31 goals.
