VfL Wolfsburg vs Darmstadt 98 prediction, odds and how to watch

Dynamo Dresden secured all three points at home thanks to an early goal and a resolute defensive display, as Darmstadt 98 finished the game with ten men and just one shot on target to their name.

Darmstadt hauled themselves back from two goals down to earn a draw against Holstein Kiel, but the in-game statistics suggest Kiel were the better side for large portions of this match and will feel they let two points slip away.

VfL Wolfsburg dominated the ball, generated 19 shots and nine corners, and still could not find a way through a resolute Kaiserslautern side who defended their shape with clarity and punished the hosts for their wastefulness in the final third.

VfL Wolfsburg host a Darmstadt 98 side that has not won in ten 2. Bundesliga matches, and on Friday evening in Lower Saxony, the numbers make for grim reading for the visitors.

FC St. Pauli head into Saturday's 2. Bundesliga fixture against VfL Wolfsburg carrying the weight of a deeply concerning run of form, while their visitors arrive with two clean sheets from two and a clear sense of purpose. This is a game that tells you a great deal about where both clubs are heading.

Darmstadt 98 have not won in ten attempts and cannot keep a clean sheet to save their lives. Bielefeld arrive in better overall shape but have their own horror story on the road.

Kaiserslautern welcome a Darmstadt side without a win in their last ten league games to the Fritz Walter Stadion, where the hosts have kept clean sheets in over 85 percent of their home fixtures this season.

VfL Wolfsburg host Energie Cottbus on Saturday looking to build on an unbeaten start, but the underlying numbers tell a more complicated story for both sides than the early standings suggest.
