Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Signs of life
Müller finally manages a shot on goal. However, the distance is too far and the shot is too weak.

Remaining playing time
There are still a good five minutes to play here in Franconia. However, the match has long since been decided.

Nürnberger best at escaping pressure
The defender has been under opponent pressure twelve times - and he has managed to escape from it in a game-high 83% of cases!

Now it's becoming clear-cut
A rather slow build-up play reaches Kemper, who draws many players towards him and lays it off to Sergio López. The right-back is completely unmarked and chips it over Noll to make it 5-0.

Tension eases
The clear lead is noticeable in the flow of the game. Darmstadt don't need to do anything more, and Fürth, as in the previous 75 minutes, lack ideas in the penalty area.

New faces stepping up
All four of Darmstadt goals were scored by new signings (Förster, Lakenmacher, Lidberg, Corredor).

Less action
Darmstadt are currently taking it easy, allowing Fürth to mount more attacks. But the visitors are able to defend effectively.

Another double substitution
Münz and Mhamdi replace Itter and Jung. Will the substitutes make an impact and give the Franconians some room to move?

Futkeu with a header
However, the striker doesn't get enough power behind the ball, and it lacks precision.

Spirited restart
The fourth goal comes at a time when Fürth were actually finding their way back into the match. Now, however, even the Franconians' last hopes must have vanished.
51'
The decisive moment?
Förster wins the ball in midfield and plays it to Corredor, who bursts from the halfway line to the edge of the penalty area, takes a shot and finds the bottom left corner with precision. This should be it now for the hosts.
51'
Much more drive
Fürth are looking to hit back. The drive towards goal has increased, and the forward passes are more precise.

Half-time: Greuther Fürth 0-3 Darmstadt
Until the visitors took the lead, it was a fairly balanced match, but after that, it was all Darmstadt. The 3-0 lead is more than deserved, and the match seems to be wrapped up already. Fürth will definitely need to step up their game in the second half if they want to take any points from this match.

The goal stands!
Darmstadt celebratesagain just before half-time! Once more, it results from a failed clearance attempt by the hosts, with Lidberg completely unmarked in front of the goal and able to pick his spot. In the build-up, Lakenmacher attempted a cross, and whether he was offside beforehand was briefly checked.

Lead extended! 2-0!
The substitute scores. Förster drives the ball forward on the counter-attack after a Fürth corner and plays it to Lidberg. The striker lays it off to Lakenmacher, who turns beautifully and slots it into the far corner.

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Double chance!
Darmstadt are slowly getting more serious: Hornby receives a good pass, but misses the finish because he turns too slowly in the penalty area. The poorly defended ball lands with Nürnberger, who puts his shot just over the crossbar.

Two Lilies changes
Darmstadt coach Florian Kohfeldt makes two changes to his starting lineup compared to the last match (a 3-2 victory after extra time in the DFB-Pokal in Dresden): Matej Maglica and Philipp Förster play in place of Aleksandar Vukotic (suspended due to yellow cards) and Merveille Papela (on the bench).
Maglica and Motika debut
Matej Maglica is in the Lilies' starting line-up for the first time this season in a competitive match, having previously made only 5 appearances as a substitute. Similarly, new signing Nemanja Motika is starting a competitive match for Fürth for the first time, with the 21-year-old Serbian having previously made 6 appearances as a substitute.
Fürth's triple swap
Interim coach Leo Haas changes his starting lineup in three positions compared to the last match (a 1-0 defeat in the DFB-Pokal in Regensburg): Jung, Motika and Futkeu play for Gießelmann, Srbeny (both on the bench) and Massimo (not in the squad).
Darmstadt starting XI
Schuhen - Nürnberger, Maglica, Riedel, López - Corredor, Müller, Klefisch, Förster - Lidberg, Hornby
Fürth starting XI
Noll - Itter, Jung, Michalski, Meyerhöfer - Motika, Green, Bansé, Asta - Futkeu, Hrgota
Haas's view on Darmstadt
"It will be a complicated match. Darmstadt are a strong team that can play very flexibly. This is a team against which you need to play a really good game off the ball to be successful. It doesn't happen overnight to get the team on the same mindset. But I'm not dissatisfied with the first steps."
Kohlfeldt's view on Fürth
"Despite the positive development, we are in a place in the table that is by no means relaxed. We all want to keep up in terms of points, in order to eventually create a bit of distance from the region that is really uncomfortable."
A big home win last time
Fürth won the last encounter between the two clubs 4-0 on the final day of the 2022/23 season. Raschl, Asta, Sieb and Green scored for the home side that day.
Intriguing record
The head-to-head slightly favours the Lilies, who have won 11 encounters. The Cloverleaves have won nine times.
A fixture with a past
Darmstadt have only played more games in the second tier against Stuttgarter Kickers (30) than they have against Greuther Fürth and their predecessor clubs (26).
