Edin Terzic’s wards have become a sensation in the Champions League playoffs, successively knocking out PSV, Atletico Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain from the competition. During the showdown with the Parisians, the rather mature defense line of the “Yellow and Blacks” didn’t concede a single goal. Although, as you may recall, the backbone of the defense actively assisted Hummels and company.
Interestingly, after the game in Paris, the Borussia players were so exhausted that they suffered a crushing defeat to Mainz (0:3). However, considering the lack of motivation in domestic competitions, this result looked quite logical.
It’s noteworthy that against the “carnival team,” Dortmund fielded a completely duplicate lineup, except for Marco Reus, who played the full 90 minutes. The experienced veteran, without a doubt, will appear from the first minutes in Saturday’s match.
In only one match out of 27 since October 7 last year, did “Darmstadt 98” emerge victorious. That’s precisely why the proteges of Lieberknecht prematurely lost any chances of survival. Moreover, the away victory against “Cologne” on April 20 (2:0) was perceived ambiguously, considering that it didn’t offer much hope for the team’s ultimate success.
Interestingly, out of the 17 points earned by “Darmstadt 98”, 11 were acquired in away matches. This includes the club’s only victory in 2024, which is also worth noting. The infirmary of Lieberknecht’s team isn’t overly crowded, although four injured players are present. Specifically, these are Klaus Jasula, Frazer Hornby, Yannick M?ller, and Fabian Holland.
