The visitors should enter the match in much higher spirits having kept back-to-back clean sheets in last two rounds against Magdeburg and Bochum. They took four points from these two ties and are now ten adrift of the danger area. This means the Lilies all but secured the survival in the second class of German football with just four games left to play.
Looking at the head to head record as well as mere quality, Koln have to be considered heavy favourites here. Darmstadt were generally struggling badly on the road so far in the season. The Lilies won 3, drew 3 and lost 9 of 15 league matches away from home.
Koln won four and drew one of past five home outings in the league and they scored at least three goals in each of these wins.
