Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Darmstadt – After a 6-0 thrashing of relegation-threatened Erzgebirge Aue last weekend, Darmstadt moved into second place in the 2. Bundesliga rankings.

The team headed by Torsten Liebnerknecht will face Fortuna Dusseldorf in Gameweek 33 at Merkur Spiel-Arena on Friday afternoon.
With a win tonight, they will control their own destiny in terms of automatic promotion ahead of the final day matchups next weekend.
Obtaining one, however, will be a significant challenge for the guests. Fortuna Dusseldorf have seen a major improvement in form in recent weeks, despite having nothing but pride to play for for a long time.
