On Friday, September 22 at 6:30 pm CET, Stuttgart and Darmstadt will meet for a Germany Bundesliga match at Mhp Arena in Stuttgart. The weather forecast calls for patchy rain and a temperature of 55°F. This rivalry between both sides goes back to their June 28, 2020 match in the Bundesliga 2, which ended with a 1-3 win for Darmstadt. This Friday, each team will aim to take the upper hand in the series.

Stuttgart have been impressive at home recently, recording three wins and no draws from their last five matches and scoring a total of twelve goals. Unfortunately, J. Vagnoman, N. Nartey and D. Undav have been ruled out due to injury and, against comparably-ranked opponents so far this year, they have won one, drawn one, and lost one, netting an average of one goal and occasionally conceding up to five. S. Guirassy was instrumental in Stuttgart's most recent away match against Mainz, scoring three of their four goals in the eventual 1 - 3 victory.

The away side Darmstadt is hoping to make a turn-around after a string of bad results. They have put up an encouraging showing in the offensive with 5 goals in their last 5 matches. Currently standing in 17th place in the standings, Darmstadt has secured 1 point from 4 matches, winning 0, drawing 1, and losing 3. Feeling confident about their numbers, the team is heading into the match with a full roster, including standout goalkeeper M. Schuhen who has prevented goals in 5 of the 10 games this season.

As the two sides prepare to face off for the ninth time, there is an expectation of a tightly contested match. Previous games have produced an average of three goals for both sides, with Stuttgart claiming four wins and three draws in the rivalry. Darmstadt are aiming to make it two wins this time around, while Stuttgart hope to extend their excellent record in the fixture. It promises to be a thrilling encounter between these two teams competing for bragging rights.

Stuttgart have an exciting opportunity to overtake Bayer Leverkusen's place at the top of the Bundesliga table with 9 points at their disposal. This could prove to be a powerful source of motivation for the team, enabling them to focus on achieving maximum returns and putting the ball in the back of the net.
