VfB Stuttgart vs Darmstadt Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 22nd September 2023

Darmstadt travel to VfB Stuttgart this coming Friday, when they pair of them go toe-to-toe at MHPArena in a exciting Bundesliga encounter.

Darmstadt have only managed to claim one point after a single draw from four matches this season. After four encounters, VfB Stuttgart have scraped together nine points which hands them number 4 in the Bundesliga table.

Darmstadt currently have only one point on their account as they have drawn once in the first four rounds of the current Bundesliga season. On the other hand, the hosts obtained nine points from their opening four games, earning them a place as number 4 in the table.

VfB Stuttgart have their target aimed at getting one over Darmstadt on Friday. However, the latter should be highly motivated at the prospect of showing their skills in front of the crowd at MHPArena.

VfB Stuttgart scored 2.4 goals on average in their past ten matches, hitting the target 24 times. They conceded 13 goals, an average of 1.3 and pulled off two clean sheets.

VfB Stuttgart vs Darmstadt Prediction

VfB Stuttgart Form

VfB Stuttgart took six points from their last three matches, but started off by losing 5-1 against RB Leipzig. They responded by beating Freiburg 5-0, and followed that up by winning 1-3 against Mainz 05. VfB Stuttgart won three of their previous six matches at MHPArena in the Bundesliga. They drew three as well, but suffered no defeats, scoring 17 goals to six against.

Darmstadt seem a little too thin in quality to stay in this division, and they will most likely be embroiled in a battle to avoid relegation from the Bundesliga for much of the season.

Darmstadt Form

A single point prevents Darmstadt from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 1-4 and 5-1 against Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 3-3 draw against B. M'gladbach. Darmstadt only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 13 goals to seven.

A top half finish is the dream for VfB Stuttgart, but neutral spectators have them down for a season in the lower end of the Bundesliga.

VfB Stuttgart are scoring freely these days, Darmstadt are doing just fine in that department as well, and we expect a match with plenty of goalson Friday.
