THE PREDICTION
Such is the madness of this season’s 2. Bundesliga promotion battle, fourth-placed Darmstadt 98 could leapfrog league leaders Schalke 04 with victory here, although whether the visitors are top of the table come kick-off between these two sides remains to be seen. Either way, a tense encounter is likely when taking into account the consequences of both victory and defeat for either team. Despite Schalke and Darmstadt boasting the first and second strongest attacking records in the division respectively, this is unlikely to be a goal-fest, with the two prioritising defence stability and most avoiding defeat first and foremost. When taking this into account, regardless of the final outcome, under 2.5 goals scored over 90 minutes is well worth backing.
