Full-time: Darmstadt 4-2 Fürth

Darmstadt deservedly win a crazy football match 4-2 against a Fürth side that simply wouldn't quit. The visitors initially turned around a 1-0 deficit, but then conceded goals from Lidberg and a second from Hornby, which put their team on the road to victory. In the end, Papela sealed the deal with a header. This victory sees the Lilies temporarily jump to third place in the table until Sunday's action.

Intense

Both teams are playing full throttle football in the opening minutes, and are going hard into the tackles. Akiyama overdoes it against Klaus with his challenge and concedes a free-kick against him at the halfway line.

Amounts to nothing

The resulting corner is a dangerous one, but it's eventually cleared.

Moments away from kick-off

Referee Koslowski has led the teams onto the pitch. The Böllenfalltor is ready.

Three keepers in 13 matches

After Boevink and Prüfrock, Schlieck becomes the third goalkeeper to feature for Fürth this season. No other team has deployed so many different goalkeepers.

New goalkeeper

Fürth start with the same ten outfield players as in the win against Münster. However, there is a change in goal, with Schlieck starting instead of Prüfrock and making his Bundesliga 2 debut. Previously he had never even been in the squad and today he goes straight between the posts.

Starting XI debut

Furukawa is in the starting XI for a second division match for the first time today. Previously, the Japanese player had only made a brief appearance, playing a total of 18 minutes.

Two changes

Compared to the win in Hannover, the hosts have made two changes to the starting XI, with Vukotić and Furukawa playing in place of Maglica and Marseiler, both of whom are missing from the squad today.

Thomas Kleine on facing Darmstadt

"Darmstadt also had difficult times last year, but with Florian Kohfeldt they've turned things around and are now a solid team. We won against Münster and want to back that up in Darmstadt. We go into every match to win it - and that's how we want to perform on Saturday."

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Fürth

"Fürth are a team that started the season playing with a clear system. They delivered spectacular matches. Towards the end of this first phase, they couldn't maintain their stability anymore and suffered some heavy defeats. Then they changed their system. They've played with a back three in recent matches and are now getting significantly better results. They won very late against Münster, but deservedly so."

Kohfeldt hoodoo

Florian Kohfeldt has faced Fürth four times as a head coach, celebrating four victories. Besides the two successes last season, he won 4-1 against the Clover Leaves with Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga in February 2022 and 2-0 with Werder Bremen in the 2020/21 DFB Cup last 16.

A long time ago

Darmstadt lost at home to Fürth (3-1) in the DFB Cup in 2007, but are unbeaten in their last 12 second-division home matches against the Clover Leaves. Greuther's last league victory at the Böllenfalltor was almost 50 years ago (3-1 in February 1976).

But Fürth won in 2023

Fürth last won against Darmstadt in May 2023, playing with a man advantage from the 30th minute onwards (red card for Patric Pfeiffer) in their 4-0 home victory. The result cost the Lilies the Bundesliga 2 title.

Favourite opponents of the Lilies

Darmstadt have not won against any other team in Bundesliga 2 as often as against Fürth. In total, the Lilies have celebrated 13 victories in 28 matches against the Clover Leaves. Last season, they won 1-0 at home and 5-1 away, with Isac Lidberg scoring in both matches.
