Darmstadt will play against Bayern Munich on the 16th of March (14:30 GMT / 09:30 ET / 06:30 PT) in the 26th round of the German Bundesliga.
Darmstadt is currently in the 18th place (the last place in Bundesliga) with just 13 points after 25 matches and it’s probably doomed, they will not be able to avoid relegation. They are 12 points behind the 15th place (which will allows them to stay in the first division) with 9 matches to go (including this one). Last round, it was a surprise they lost only 2-0 against RB Leipzig.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich is in 2nd place and they have to close a 10 points gap over the last matches of the season if they want to be the champions. They are pumped up after coming back from 1-0 and eliminating Lazio in the Champions League and hammering Mainz 8-1.
The teams played each other this season and Bayern demolished Darmstadt 8-0.
