"Starting with the hosts, spending the majority of last season sat in Bundesliga 2 limbo as they eventually limped their way to a bottom-half finish, Darmstadt opened up the 2025/26 campaign knowing that stability was crucial this time around. However, since opening proceedings back in August, the Lillies have come flying out of the traps and are enjoying what has become quite the purple patch."
"As for the visitors, while Darmstadt might be enjoying what has become a real Bundesliga 2 romp, Magdeburg find themselves at the heart of a real struggle. Last seen heading into October's international break with a woeful 4-0 drumming at home against Elversberg, Petrik Sander's downbeat squad mark their return from the fortnight interval sat rock-bottom of the table. In fact, Sunday's guests have remarkably registered just three points from any of their first eight Bundesliga 2 appearances."
Darmstadt have started the 2025/26 Bundesliga 2 season strongly under Florian Kohfeldt, sitting third after the international break and aiming for promotion. The Lillies won 10 points from their previous four league matches, including a dominant 3-0 victory at Dusseldorf and a 2-0 home win over Dresden, and have also collected 10 points from four home fixtures. Magdeburg sit bottom of the table under Petrik Sander after a poor run, enduring a 4-0 home defeat to Elversberg and securing only three points from eight matches. Magdeburg have lost six consecutive games and face a difficult trip to in-form Darmstadt.
