Darmstadt welcome Dynamo Dresden at Merck-Stadion am Boellenfalltor, Darmstadt on Sunday, Jan 31 at 1:30 PM in a 2. Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.

Darmstadt come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Dynamo Dresden travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Darmstadt here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Dynamo Dresden, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Darmstadt won 0–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Darmstadt a slight edge, but Dynamo Dresden are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
