Darmstadt - Magdeburg

Saturday afternoon at the Merck-Stadion am Boellenfalltor, Darmstadt and Magdeburg meet for matchday 10 of the 2. Bundesliga. The hosts look to build on a positive result in the DFB Pokal, where they secured a 2-0 victory over Elversberg, following a recent league stalemate against St. Pauli. Darmstadt will be without the injured Carlo Sickinger, but the expected XI features Marcel Schuhen in goal supported by Patric Pfeiffer and Yannik Luehrs in defence, while Milan Smit leads the forward line.

Magdeburg arrive following a difficult cup defeat to Bayern Munich, though their league form has been potent, highlighted by a commanding 6-1 win over Karlsruher SC in their last 2. Bundesliga outing. With Baris Atik expected to orchestrate the midfield and Dominik Reimann in goal, the visitors aim to maintain their momentum. Recent history between these sides has been tight, including a 1-1 draw in March 2026.
