End of the day for Hornby
The double goalscorer felt a twinge in his thigh and so he has to come off. Lakenmacher replaces him.

Still the Lilies
It seems as though the home side are coping better with 10 men than they were with 11 at the moment.
The rollercoaster ride continues!

Kick-off!
The ball is rolling at the Bölle.
Kick-off!
Top match with pressure!
As Hannover have already played, both teams are under considerable pressure. Elversberg would only jump back into the top three with a win, while Darmstadt can only maintain their slim chance with three points (they would still be four points behind third-placed Hannover).
Happy Birthday!
Immanuel Pherai turns 25 years old today. For the first time in his professional career, he is on the pitch on his birthday.
A small milestone
This is Elversberg's 50th away game in Bundesliga 2.
New left side
The second change for the Lilies also affects the left side: Killian Corredor is on the bench, while Yosuke Furukawa gets only his second chance in the starting eleven. The Japanese player had previously only started in November during the 4-2 home victory against Fürth (matchday 13), when he was substituted at half-time.
Petretta replaces Nürnberger
Raoul Petretta moves into the starting line-up for the injured Fabian Nürnberger. The winter signing from Toronto was previously only in the first eleven during the 3-1 defeat in Dresden at the end of February.
Simple change
Vincent Wagner makes only one change compared to the 3-0 win against Karlsruhe and brings in Felix Keidel for Jan Gyamerah.

What Florian Kohfeldt says
"SV Darmstadt 98 can fall down, but staying down is not an option. We want to get back up, not stay down. I can promise that to everyone. We know what we need to do. Above all, we need to be brave and take action. And continue to believe in what makes us strong."
