Conclusion

The rollercoaster ride at Böllenfalltor ends in a draw, which is a fair result in the end. The Lilies will be somewhat satisfied, especially having played with a man down. After a back-and-forth first half, the match calmed down somewhat in the second period. With this result, Darmstadt appear to be out of the promotion race, while Elversberg drop to fourth.

Half-time: Darmstadt 2-3 Elversberg

The visitors completed an incredible turnaround before the break and will now also go into the break with a man advantage. Darmstadt have work to do to in order to get themselves back in the game.

Side netting!

Petkov gets past two Darmstadt players on the right and shoots from a tight angle - not far off, but it lands on the wrong side of the goal netting!

They've pulled one back!!! What's going on here?!

Elversberg are alive! Pherai dribbles through three Darmstadt players, then plays it to Mokwa, who can't control the ball cleanly - by chance it falls to Zimmerschied, who only has to tap it in. That makes up for his earlier mistake!

Corner, header, goal!

It's basically the Lilies' first attack - and it's successful! After a corner, the loose ball comes to Akiyama, who smashes strikes it from range. Pfeifer then deflects the ball with his heel, right in front of the helpless Kristof.

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.

Bölle is ready!

The final preparations have been made for the match on Saturday evening!

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."

No home comforts

The Lilies' last goal against Elversberg on home soil was Markus Beierle's effort in a 3-1 Regionalliga defeat in October 2006. The Lilies have collected only two points from their last five home matches against the Saarland side.
