Darmstadt 98 vs Hannover 96: Prediction and odds on the Match on 20 April 2025

Darmstadt 98 and Hannover 96 will lock horns at the Merck-Stadion am Böllenfalltor on Sunday, 20 April 2025. Darmstadt 98 have won three of their last 12 games. Can they improve in this game? Below, you will find the team news, possible starting lineup, head-to-head statistics, interesting facts, betting tips, and odds.

Darmstadt 98: form and statistics

Darmstadt 98 were held to a goalless draw in their last game against Hertha, to extend their winless run to four games in their previous six games. They haven’t been impressive, having won just three of their last 12 games, but they remain unbeaten in ten of their last 12 games at home. The Lilies are 9th on the table with 43 points in 29 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding 30. They are still in the promotion race with just four points behind the top 3 and nine points behind the first team in the league. Darmstadt will still face Munster, Hamburger, Kaiserslautern, and Regensburg in their remaining game of the season.

Darmstadt 98: Lineup

After scoring an own goal in their last game, Aleksandar Vukotic will hope to give his best to recover the two points lost in the game. Fraser Hornby missed the previous match against Hertha, and it is not clear if he will be part of the matchday squad. Florian Kohfeldt will also deal with lots of injured players on the list, but he still has some excellent players to get him the points with the partnership of Isac Lidberg and Fraser Hornby up front.

Hannover 96: Form and statistics

Hannover 96 are currently experiencing a difficult time that is affecting their aspiration for promotion. They have remained winless in their last four games, where they lost three and failed to score in three of those games. Before this setback, they were unbeaten in ten straight games in all competitions. Moreover, they remain unbeaten in six of their last seven games on the road. The Reds are 9th on the table with 43 points in 29 games, scoring 35 goals and conceding 30. They are five points off any chance of promotion and nine points behind top-placed Hamburger.

Hannover 96: Lineup

André Breitenreiter has a healthy team to pick from, with no player reported to be injured. Marcel Halstenberg is on the verge of recovery after the 33-year-old defender missed the last four games due to an injury. However, his availability for this match is in doubt.
