Darmstadt team overview
Darmstadt's start has been extremely disappointing. They drew 2-2 with Holstein Kiel on Matchday 1 but subsequently lost 0-1 to Dynamo Dresden, 0-1 to Hannover 96 and 0-3 to Kaiserslautern.
The situation is particularly concerning because Darmstadt have now gone three consecutive league matches without scoring and are reportedly winless in 13 league games across the current and previous campaign. Head coach Florian Kohfeldt is consequently under increasing pressure to produce a result.
The hosts will also be missing several players. Aleksandar Vukotic is suspended, while Fabian Nürnberger, Fynn Lakenmacher, Luca Marseiler and Merveille Papela remain unavailable. Lakenmacher is still struggling with an adductor problem, while Marseiler and Papela are dealing with longer-term injuries.

Arminia Bielefeld team overview
Bielefeld have also experienced a mixed opening four matches, although they are much better placed in the league standings as of now. They started with a 1-2 defeat at Karlsruhe, responded with a convincing 3-0 victory over Energie Cottbus, then suffered a heavy 1-4 loss at Nürnberg before drawing 2-2 with St Pauli.
Jannik Rochelt and Joel Grodowski were on target against St Pauli, while recent arrivals David Min and Leon Jensen made their league debuts from the bench. Both could provide additional options for Oliver Kirch as Bielefeld look for their first away victory of the campaign.
Daniel Richter is the principal injury concern for the visitors, with the defender carrying a cruciate ligament problem.

Prediction
BTTS - NO looks like a plausible prediction, given Darmstadt's abysmal scoring form in the early weeks of the new season. The hosts have found the net just twice in their opening four 2. Bundesliga matches and have failed to score in each of their last three outings. With Darmstadt struggling to create and convert chances, there is a strong possibility that they could draw another blank against Arminia Bielefeld.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score (NO).
Three reasons we expect BTTS (NO)
- Darmstadt have failed to find the net in three consecutive 2. Bundesliga matches.
- Bielefeld have struggled offensively away from home: they have scored only two goals in their two away league matches.
- Darmstadt have yet to score at home in the league since Matchday 1.
