Benjamin Brand

Full-time: Elversberg 0-0 Darmstadt

Both teams would have deserved at least one goal, but were too imprecise in their finishing. With the points shared, both teams miss the opportunity to jump to second place.

Over the bar

A corner kick that was initially cleared lands at the edge of the penalty area with Nürnberger, who takes the ball on the volley with using his weaker right foot, but puts it just over the crossbar.

0:19

Nearly the lead!

Ebnoutalib with a huge opportunity, but his left-footed finish about eight metres from goal is too high and flies over Schuhen's net.

76'

Sold-out venue

9,300 spectators have come to the stadium, which is currently undergoing renovation.

Can either team find a goal?

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Based on the cumulative quality of chances, Darmstadt would slowly deserve a goal.

Another goalless draw for Darmstadt?

For Darmstadt, it would already be the third 0-0 draw this season; that would be the highest tally in the league (for Elversberg, it would be a first this season).

0:15

Deflected

Pfeiffer lets fly from 30 metres. Pinckert deflects the ball, forcing Kristof to stretch to save it.

Too central

65'

Almost had his shirt pulled off

Lidberg is awarded a free kick as a result of a tussle with Le Joncour.

Another treatment

This time López is sitting on the ground and will probably have to be substituted as well.

Vukotić clears up

The subsequent free-kick initially poses no danger and is cleared for a corner. The corner is then more dangerous, but Vukotić manages to head away Pinckert's headed cross in the six-yard box.

54'

First booking

Richter fouls Ebnoutalib, who is running in a central position about 30 metres from goal, in an attempt to play the ball. Richter misses the ball, brings down the Elversberg player and receives the first yellow card of the match.

54'

Yellow card

Marco Richter

53'

Just wide

Lidberg gets his head to the ball following the subsequent corner at the six-yard box, but his header bounces just wide of the right post - the first really good chance of the second-half.

52'

Le Joncour shuts the door

Lidberg's cross is blocked by the Elversberg centre-back.

51'

Richter attempt

Corredor cleverly faints Marseiler's pass through at the edge of the penalty area to Richter. His shot from 18 metres is blocked by Günther.

49'

From distance

Condé's attempt from range goes well over the Darmstadt goal.

49'

Too far

Pinckert's pass to Gyamerah is too long and goes out for a throw-in.

46'

We're back under way

The hosts kick off the second-half.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Elversberg 0-0 Darmstadt

A very intense 45 minutes with chances on both sides. Darmstadt initially started the game better and were unlucky when Kristof tipped Lidberg's effort onto the crossbar. Before the break, Elversberg were stronger and could have taken the lead through Ebnoutalib.

Half-time

45'

Richter clears!

The Darmstadt attacker is needed at the back for a corner. The initially well-cleared corner is made dangerous again by Elversberg on the second attempt. Ebnoutalib gets a shot away from the six-yard box, but Richter clears it for another corner.

44'

Good solo run

Günther progresses the ball from his own half into the Lilies' penalty area, but Pfeiffer is alert to the situation.

41'

Into the wall

Petkov's free-kick from over 30 metres in a central position hits the Darmstadt wall.

Fighting for every inch

It's been a physical battle so far.

39'

Bundesliga experience comes onto the pitch

Richter replaces Hornby in Darmstadt's attack.

Substitution

Fraser Hornby

35'

Doesn't look good

Hornby is receiving treatment and is holding the back of his thigh. The striker will likely have to come off, Richter is getting ready to come on.

33'

Elversberg step up

While Darmstadt had 4-0 shots on goal after 15 minutes, Elversberg have now caught up and even overtaken them. Both teams could have certainly scored a goal already in this lively match.

Elversberg probe for opener

Petkov looks for Ebnoutalib at the far post in the six-yard box with a sharp, low cross from the right but it eludes the Elversberg forward by millimetres.

30'

Chance

Petkov plays it across goal again, but Darmstadt can intercept the cross, and Ebnoutalib's follow-up shot is then accidentally blocked by his own teammate.

28'

One touch too many

Lidberg lays it off to Corredor, who gets a shot away from about 10 metres in a fairly central position. However, the Frenchman takes too long to control the ball, allowing the retreating Condé to put him off. The shot then misses its target by a wide margin.

26'

Offensive foul

After a corner, Nürnberger delivers the ball dangerously into the six-yard box. Lidberg gets a shot away from close range, but before that one of his teammates committed an offensive foul, which referee Brand penalises.

25'

Pinckert is alert

The centre-back manages to nick the ball off Hornby's foot in the penalty area after his fine ball control.

0:19

First good opportunity

Ebnoutalib manages to turn inside the penalty area, gets past Vukotić and has a shot from 17 metres. However, it's too central, allowing Schuhen to parry the powerful shot away with a volleyball-style dig.

20'

Hosts dominate

Elversberg have had more possession, but Darmstadt have been significantly more dangerous in their attacking efforts so far.

No way through

Both Ebnoutalib and Günther fail to break through into the visitors' penalty area.

15'

Petkov pelted

Darmstadt are awarded a free kick from over 20 yards out. Hornby smashes it into Petkov's face in the wall. The Bulgarian needs a moment to recover, but can then continue playing.

12'

It's loud

Both sets of fans have ended their silent protest against the proposed stricter security measures in German stadiums and are now supporting their teams again with the usual volume, colour and passion.

Entertaining opening phase

Both sides are really going for it - with the winners potentially moving up to second place.

Ebnoutalib in the area

Ebnoutalib appears in the Lilies' penalty box for the first time, but Vukotić nicks the ball away from the Elversberg striker just in time.

Good start

Darmstadt have started well, with three attempts on goal already.

0:18

Darmstadt hit bar!

Lopez cleverly threads the ball through to Lidberg at the edge of the penalty area again, who turns past his opponent, finds himself free in front of Kristof and shoots. The Elversberg keeper gets a touch to it with his left leg and deflects the ball onto the crossbar.

First big chance

Lopez lays it off to Corredor, and his shot from inside the area is blocked by Elversberg in the six-yard box. The subsequent corner fizzles out without any danger for Elversberg.

Slow start

There have been no shots so far.

We're off

Darmstadt kick off the match

Kick-off!

Back in the starting XI

Fabian Nürnberger had been sidelined for four matchdays due to a muscle injury and made his comeback as a substitute on the last matchday, today the Darmstadt midfielder starts for the first time since Matchday 8.

Le Joncour returns

Elversberg's Florian Le Joncour had spent the last two matchdays completely on the bench, but today the 30-year-old Frenchman is being deployed for the first time since matchday 11 (when he played the full 90 minutes in the 2-2 home draw against Hannover).

More on that Darmstadt team

Lilies coach Florian Kohfeldt makes two changes to his starting XI compared to the side that began the 4-2 home win against Fürth. Fabian Nürnberger and Luca Marseiler come in for Fabian Holland and Yosuke Furukawa (who are both on the bench).

More on that Elversberg team

Vincent Wagner makes one change to his starting line-up compared to the side that began the 3-2 victory in Karlsruhe as Florian Le Joncour comes in for Maximilian Rohr (on the bench).

Starting line-up: SV Elversberg

Starting line-up: SV Darmstadt 98

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Elversberg

"I expect a pretty awesome football match. These are two teams that are very similar in their style of offensive positional play. Both have a flexible but purposeful approach with the ball. Elversberg have flexible build-up play and brave full-backs. They consistently look for the technical approach and have a top striker up front."

Vincent Wagner on facing Darmstadt

"We are very happy to finally have a home match again. Darmstadt are very balanced in many parts of the team and offensively definitely dangerous. In Florian Kohfeldt, they have a manager who has worked in the Bundesliga for a long time. If you then manage to keep a top striker like Isac Lidberg in the summer, you can't avoid a certain role as favourites in the end."

Will Darmstadt score a goal?

No player in the current Lilien squad has scored a goal against Elversberg in Bundesliga 2.

Before last season

Prior to last season, these teams had only met in the third division. The last game was in December 2013 when Darmstadt won 3-0 in Elversberg under manager Dirk Schuster.

Two victories for Elversberg

Last season saw the first second-division encounters between both clubs, with SVE winning 4-0 at home and 3-0 away. After the clear defeat at Kaiserlinde at the end of August 2024, Torsten Lieberknecht resigned as coach.

Darmstadt's missing prize

Darmstadt have played against 93 teams in Bundesliga 2, but have only failed to get a point against SV Elversberg!
