Darmstadt 98 were one of the surprise teams in last season’s Bundesliga. The promoted side confirmed their top-flight status for another year with a win in Berlin on the penultimate matchday of last season and proved themselves to be a tricky opponent for Werder; the Green-Whites lost their away game last year against the Lilies 2-1. “Darmstadt are very aggressive and are very willing to run. We’ll have to do everything to counter that,” noted captain Clemens Fritz. After the thrilling last-minute victory against Wolfsburg, Werder will do everything to get their second win of the season on Saturday (15:30 CEST). “We played as a team but we have to do this week in week out.”
