Another week to wait

It's all over and Darmstadt's wait for promotion back to the Bundesliga will go on for at least another week, with Hamburg's win in Regensburg meaning they still have to sweat it out.

More damage for Darmstadt

Not only are Darmstadt going to have to wait longer to seal promotion, that is going to be even more of a challenge for them as they will also be without Manu on Matchday 33.

Damage limitation

A second yellow card of the game for Bader, so Darmstadt - now down to 10 men - may look just to come away without suffering any further damage.
85'

Time running out

It looks like the race for promotion is going to move on to the penultimate weekend of the season, with Darmstadt staring a second straight defeat in the face. Hamburg are on course to narrow the gap to four points as they lead 5-1 in Regensburg.

Darmstadt gambling

With the introduction of Bennetts, Darmstadt are now taking a few risks and this is leaving gaps for Hannover to capitalise. There could be another goal in this game, but it would be hard to predict at which end.

Pader-born again

At least some good news for Darmstadt comes from Paderborn, who have come from 2-1 down to lead Heidenheim 3-2. That means the Lilies are back on top of the table, as things stand.

Bench bookings

Hannover coach Leitl and one of his assistants get yellow cards as tempers begin to flare, on and off the field.

Flag to the rescue

Teuchert chips the ball into the back of the net for what appeared to be a third for Hannover, but the offside flag goes up, and it is the correct decision - a let-off for Darmstadt.

Another throw of the dice

Gjasula comes on at the start of the second half, with Darmstadt keen to wrap up promotion today rather than having to wait ANOTHER week.

Hope for Darmstadt

That 11th goal of the season for Tietz - his third in his past four games - has given the Lilies some hope going into the second half. Promotion could still be sealed today, but they need two more goals for that, assuming they do not concede more.

Or maybe...

Things can change in an instant, though, and Tietz has brought Darmstadt back into the game. It's the first shot on target from a Darmstadt player today, and it's a fine finish into the bottom corner on the turn. Game on!

Heidenheim heading top

Not only are Darmstadt looking unlikely to celebrate promotion today, they are also set to relinquish top spot, with Heidenheim leading in Paderborn and on course to go top of Bundesliga 2 on goal difference.

Tactical tweak?

There did not appear to be an injury to Müller, with Lieberknecht reacting early to try to turn things around here with a tactical change.

Hamburg doing their bit

Hamburg are three goals up against Regensburg, so Darmstadt almost certainly now need to score three of their own to be able to celebrate promotion this afternoon.

Teuchert doubles the advantage!

The angle looked impossible, but not for Cedric Teuchert! He drills the ball unstoppably into the roof of the net, and Hannover are now two to the good!

Hannover justifiably in front, but Darmstadt do appear to have woken up now, with Manu sending their second shot of the game over the crossbar.

Nielsen ends drought

Havard Nielsen's eighth goal of the season brings to an end a drought of 14 games without a goal for the Norwegian; this is his first goal since Matchday 16.

Hamburg lead

The news arrives that Hamburg have gone ahead in Regensburg. That means Darmstadt would not be promoted today, if the two results remain the way they are.

Tale of the tape

It's been quite one-sided so far, and perhaps not the way many would have expected.

Köhn he? No he can't!

Another good chance for Hannover, this time it falls to the feet of Köhn, but he swings at the ball and sends it high and wide.

Hannover on top

Another shot comes in, this time from Kunze. It lacks precision to trouble Schuhen, but he is by far the busier of the goalkeepers at the moment.

Second time of asking!

No mistake this time from Nielsen, who marks his return to the starting XI with a goal - a typical close-range header from the Norwegian!

Nielsen close!

There is the first shot of the game and it comes from Nielsen, whose angled drive is saved by Schuhen.

Still no shots

Hannover have had more of the ball, but it has largely been condensed to the middle third of the field. No danger of a goal coming from there, and no shots at either end yet.

Nothing to play for?

If there were any doubts about Hannover's willingness to win, the way they have started the game certainly suggests they are fully committed.

Glorious weather

Out come the teams in glorious sunshine and a temperature of 21 celsius/69 fahrenheit. And it's pretty warm off the field too, with the guest fans showing their colours, and hoping to have something to celebrate later.

Three changes

Torsten Lieberknecht makes three changes to his side compared to last weekend's 3-0 defeat to St. Pauli: Holland, Honsak and Stojilkovic come in for Kempe, Schnellhardt (both on the bench) und Mehlem (suspended).

Nielsen returns

Havard Nielsen was only a substitute for Hannover's past two fixtures, having last been on the bench on Matchday 1. Today, the 29-year-old's back in the starting XI.

Hannover team news

There is a near full squad to choose from as Stefan Leitl plots a way to become Darmstadt's party pooper. Midfielder Sebastian Kerk is the only definite absentee with an ankle injury.

Darmstadt team news

The visitors are without suspended midfielder Marvin Mehlem, along with the injured pair of Frank Ronstadt and Oskar Vilhelmsson. Club top scorer Phillip Tietz will lead the line again hoping to get the job done in Hannover.

Pesky St Pauli delay Darmstadt dreams

It's been quite a season for Darmstadt

The Lillies went an incredible 21 matches unbeaten from July to February. They are currently three points ahead of Heidenheim and on course to be crowned Bundesliga 2 champions.

Hannover hunting an upset

Stefan Leitl, Hannover's coach, spoke ahead of the game of this being the biggest test of their season. You might think they have little to play for in a comfortable mid-table position (ninth), but Leitl promised to do everything to ensure Darmstadt get promoted at home next week.

Don't mention the P word

Thorsten Lieberknecht understandably sought to take the pressure off his charges ahead of the game, saying: "There is no such thing as a must-win game in football. We are going out for three points as we always do, but we aren't thinking of any other concepts. This team just wants to win matches. Victories and points is what we have our sights on."

Promotion party ahead?

Darmstadt are just one win away from earning promotion to the Bundesliga. In fact they just need to match Hamburg's result at Jahn Regensburg at the same time on Sunday, and they are GOING UP!
