Darmstadt 98 in the DFB Cup: On the way to revenge against Schalke!

The Lilies from SV Darmstadt 98 are sitting on the bench after the 0-1 defeat against Schalke 04 and are thinking about how they can get out of this sad result. Despite an intense game, the game had few chances: While Schalke had two dangerous moments, Darmstadt had to be content with just one advance. “We didn't have the necessary assertiveness and acted uncertainly in crucial situations,” said coach Florian Kohfeldt after the game and was only partially satisfied with his team's performance. Schalke, on the other hand, can be happy about their place at the top of the second division. Hessenschau reports.

The emerging problems on the offensive could not be overlooked and so Darmstadt was left behind in a comparison that shows us where the teams' efficiency lies. “The defeat was deserved,” said Kohfeldt laconically. However, the upcoming DFB Cup game against the same opponents on Wednesday in the Böllenfalltor stadium could be a highlight. Captain Marcel Schuhen is already thinking about the motivating atmosphere that the home fans could create and hopes that the Lilies can free themselves from their current crisis. However, the support may not be enough: Isac Lidberg, Darmstadt's best attacker, missed the last game due to illness, but could be fit again for the cup.

A look at the numbers

Transfermarkt liegt der Marktwert von Darmstadt bei 26,10 Millionen Euro, während Schalke auf 29,75 Millionen Euro kommt. Die Durchschnittswerte sind fast identisch: Darmstadt mit 932.000 Euro und Schalke mit 930.000 Euro. Beiden Clubs ist zudem gemein, dass sie mit jeweils drei Nationalspielern aufwarten können.

The last direct encounters between both teams show a changeable picture. Schalke have been able to maintain the upper hand in the last ten meetings, with the last game being particularly painful. Among the 61,198 spectators in the stadium, the 0-1 loss in Darmstadt was viewed particularly bitterly.
