Stats for this game
Matchup VfL Bochum VS SV Darmstadt 98
Draws open the contest
Bochum and Darmstadt have produced two high-scoring draws in these meetings. They shared a 2-2 result in Bochum on 31 March 2024 and a 3-3 draw there on 18 January 2026. Neither match supplied a winner, but the scorelines show the fixture can remain competitive even when both sides find the net more than once. Bochum’s ground has not guaranteed separation.
Darmstadt create a clear home answer
SV Darmstadt 98 beat Bochum 4-1 at home on 2 August 2025, turning their setting into the occasion for a decisive result. VfL Bochum had won 2-1 away at Darmstadt on 3 November 2023. Those results show the same ground producing a home win and a visiting response, while the draws keep the wider exchange open.
No fixed venue script
The matchup combines two draws with one win for each side, and its scorelines range from tight to open. That variety makes a permanent order difficult to justify. Future meetings can bring another home margin, an away response or another shared result.
