The Merck-Stadion Am Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt is soon to have an expected match between 1 FC Kaiserslautern and SV Darmstadt 98 on the eighteenth of March 2023. Up to 17500 German 2nd Bundesliga fans will closely follow this game, which is the 25th matchday.
After losing their previous match against Arminia Bielefeld by a score of 3-1 in Bundesliga 2, Darmstadt will not want to repeat that outcome here. Darmstadt had 56 percent possession and 12 shots, four of which were successful.
The main player to score for Darmstadt was Mathias Honsak (54′). Arminia Bielefeld made 17 shots on goal, 8 of which were successful. Arminia Bielefeld received goals from Manuel Prietl (72′), Benjamin Kanuri (91′), and Fabian Klos (94′).
Darmstadt has rarely demonstrated defensive strength in recent times. The fact of the matter is that Darmstadt has conceded ten goals in five of their previous six matches. Kaiserslautern and SV Sandhausen drew 2-2 in their Bundesliga 2 matchup prior to this one.
Kaiserslautern had 57% possession and 9 shots on goal, 5 of which were successful. Boris Tomiak scored the goals for Kaiserslautern (35′) and Kevin Kraus (76′). Sandhausen made seven shots on goal at the other end, two of which were successful.
Frank Evina (80′) and Ahmed Kutucu (8′) scored goals for SV Sandhausen. The facts are clear: Kaiserslautern has conceded goals in six of their last six games, with opponents scoring eight goals in total. Kaiserslautern really needs to strengthen its defense.
We must determine whether that pattern can continue into this subsequent match. Kaiserslautern hasn’t won in three league games they’ve played away from home before this one.

Prediction :
