Darmstadt welcomes KSC: top game in the sold-out Merck Stadium!
This Friday, December 6th, 2025, there is an eagerly awaited second division game on the program in the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor: SV Darmstadt 98 welcomes Karlsruher SC. With kick-off at 8:30 p.m. and a sold-out stadium, the game promises a lot of drama and emotion. Sport1 reports on a special motivation for the home team, who are unbeaten at home this season - four wins and three draws testify to their home strength.
Especially in the duel with KSC, there was no reason for Darmstadt to complain in the last five league matches. With three wins and two draws, the balance is consistently positive. Darmstadt is currently in a better position with 26 points from 14 games than in the same period of the 2022/23 promotion season. The team has developed well and shows consistently strong performances.
Darmstadt and the DFB Cup defeat
But not everything is going smoothly for the Lilies: This week, Darmstadt was eliminated from the DFB Cup with a 2-0 defeat against SC Freiburg. Here, however, goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen showed a strong performance and saved several dangerous shots. He is also expected against KSC, where his skills will be in demand again.
KSC is fighting the crisis
The central defenders Marcel Beifus and Marcel Franke are particularly noteworthy for the Karlsruhe team: with over 72% of duels won each, they are among the best in the league. Darmstadt's Patric Pfeiffer can also keep up quite well with 71.9%. What is interesting is that KSC has only made twelve changes to the starting eleven this season, which is the third lowest number in the league. In contrast, the Darmstadt team has the oldest starting lineup with an average age of 27 years and 112 days. This could be an indication of the experience that could potentially make the difference. There are several ways for fans of both sides to follow the action live this evening: The game will be broadcast on television on NITRO and Sky, and a live stream is also available on RTL+ and Sky. If you would like to find out directly about the current game, you can do so via a live ticker at SPORT1. The encounter promises to be an exciting chapter in the history of both clubs. The question remains: Can KSC break the negative trend or will Darmstadt remain unbeaten in this duel?
