New SV Darmstadt 98 coach Torsten Frings is expected to ring the changes for his struggling Lilies side in his debut as a Bundesliga coach. Alexander Milosevic, Leon Guwara, Roman Bezjak and Anis Ben-Hatira are all expected to come in for Artem Fedetsky, Fabian Holland, Mario Vrancic and Sven Schipplock as Frings reorganises his side, currently sitting bottom of the table after their 2-0 loss at Hertha Berlin before the winter break.

Christoph Kramer should return to the starting XI in place of the injured Tobias Strobl in the only other expected change from the side that lost their final game of 2016 against VfL Wolfsburg.
