So close!

Marseiler's low cross towards the near post is almost met by Richter, but the Darmstadt man can't quite get the final touch.

Zoma heavily involved

Good effort!

Porstner picks the ball up on the left and lets fly from just inside the box, but Schuhen is equal to the shot.
21'

Becker foiled

The 25-year-old's attempted through-ball is intercepted by the Darmstadt defence. No shortage of effort from either side so far, but goalscoring opportunities have been at a premium.
20'

Reichert mops up

Lidberg tries to get on the end of a long ball over the top of the Nuremberg rearguard, but Reichert is alert to the danger.

Early effort

A Darmstadt corner lands at the feet of Richter, whose attempt is held by Reichert - but it wouldn't have counted anyway. The flag had gone up for offside.

Young Nuremberg outfit

The average age of the visitors' starting XI this evening is 23.3 years - four years younger than Darmstadt's. Nuremberg are having to make do without head coach Klose tonight - the former Germany striker is serving a suspension.

More on that Darmstadt team

The Lilies make one change to the side that drew 3-3 with Bochum on Sunday. Papela makes only his fourth start of the campaign in place of veteran defender Holland, who is absent from the squad.

More on that Nuremberg team

The visitors make one change to the side that beat Elversberg 3-2 last time out. Yilmaz is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign, so 18-year-old Porstner is handed his full debut for the club.

Florian Kohfeldt on facing Nuremberg

"I have great respect for Nuremberg and the way they play football. But we're also playing at home. We are unbeaten at the Bölle this season. Overall, we are unbeaten in eight matches. Even though the Bochum match wasn't top quality for the full 90 minutes, I must say that the first half was very good, apart from the two mistakes. We're now looking forward to the match against Nuremberg and the great atmosphere. It will be a very attractive match for the spectators."

Miroslav Klose on facing Darmstadt

"Darmstadt are a powerful and robust team. We cannot afford to lose the ball too often, as they then advance into the penalty area with great pace. However, we must continue our good form from the last few matches with us."

Watch: Nuremberg 0-1 Darmstadt - previous meeting

Killian Corredor's stoppage-time strike secured the points for Darmstadt earlier this season.

Former stomping ground

Julian Justvan played on loan at Darmstadt in the first half of 2024 and was relegated from the Bundesliga with the Lillies (two goals in 14 appearances).

Bremen past

Darmstadt head coach Florian Kohfeldt and Nuremberg counterpart Miroslav Klose crossed paths at Werder Bremen. Klose played for the senior side from 2004 to 2007, while Kohfeldt was in the third team and also worked as a youth coach from 2006 onwards.

Favourable opponent

Darmstadt have collected 10 points from the past five matches against Der Club and conceded only one goal across their last three on home soil.

Goals guaranteed?

There's never been a goalless draw in 44 meetings between Darmstadt and Nuremberg. However, the most recent encounters weren't particularly high-scoring (1-0, 1-0, 1-1, 1-0).
