Stuttgart take on the visitors in the round 5 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, Darmstadt September 22nd at MHPArena (Stuttgart).
The Swabians may still remember their sensational championship under Armin Veh in 2007. However, little success followed that, and the team repeatedly dropped to the second division. After returning in 2020, once again, they managed to have only one calm season. The rest of the time was a struggle for survival, and in 2022/2023, they secured survival, thanks to a smart choice in Sebastian Heneß. He, who didn't make much of an impact at Hoffenheim (although things clearly got worse for the peasants without him), managed to lift his new charges from the bottom of the league table. He then comfortably won the playoff matches against Hamburg, scoring 3 goals in each leg against the dinosaurs. In the new season, they started with a 1-5 loss to RB Leipzig. However, they defeated Balingen in the cup, and the other three matches in Bundesliga 1 brought convincing victories. They even scored 5 unanswered goals against Bochum and Freiburg each, and finished 3-1 against Mainz in the last round.

Darmstadt fought long for a return to the Bundesliga, but it doesn't seem to be working out. The Lilies were founded, as evident from their full name, back in 1898. However, they have spent only half a dozen seasons in the country's top division in all that time. In 2015, they had their last promotion, and they even spent two consecutive seasons in Bundesliga 1. But then there was another decline, and only Torsten Lieberknecht, on his second attempt, managed to secure a new promotion. But for now, it seems like they are set for another one-season guests format. Even the little-known Homburg thrashed them 3-0 in the cup. And in Bundesliga, they couldn't even secure a single point. They only narrowly won against Eintracht in Frankfurt, but they faced defeats against Berlin's Union and Bayer. They allowed Borussia (Mönchengladbach) to level the score after scoring three times in just half an hour.
The sides have only played 4 official matches. So far, it's an even contest: 1 win for each team and a couple of draws. The Swabians are clearly stronger and are playing at home. We recommend betting that they will achieve a victory with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Stuttgart to win with -1.0 handicap.
