SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs SV Darmstadt 98, 16 May 2027, 2. Bundesliga: form, head-to-head and match facts

SpVgg Greuther Fürth host SV Darmstadt 98 in what promises to be a tightly contested clash, with the hosts sitting 12th on six points after one win, three draws and two defeats, and a goal difference of minus two. Darmstadt, languishing in 18th place with just four points from one victory, one draw and four losses and a hefty minus eight goal deficit, will be desperate to close the gap to safety. The two sides have met only sparingly this season, but Fürth’s slightly better defensive record—conceding 11 goals compared with Darmstadt’s 13—could prove decisive on a modestly sized pitch. A draw would keep Fürth within striking distance of the mid‑table, while a win for the visitors would be a vital step toward climbing out of the relegation zone.
