Heiner Backhaus, head coach of Eintracht Braunschweig, at the pre-match press conference:
„Darmstadt’s core has been together for a long time and has formed a strong spine. They weathered some difficult periods last year. And the last time they lost this season, it felt like we were all still in our T-shirts. Darmstadt has strengths in every phase of the game. They play with structure, but they never play the same way and are capable of anything. Nevertheless, we know we can beat them here at home. We can break Darmstadt down with intensity. But for that, we need energy in the stadium.“

In the world of football, a yo-yo team is a team that oscillates between two leagues – too good for one league, but not quite at the level of the next higher one. The result is usually many promotions and many relegations. But SV Elversberg is currently redefining the term. For several years now, the yo-yo has been taking SVE almost exclusively upwards.

The news that Fabian Holland will no longer play for Darmstadt at the end of this season affected everyone at the club. We take a look at it. Also exciting this week: The U17s host Eintracht Frankfurt's youth team in Pfungstadt today, Wednesday (April 22nd/5pm) for the Hessian derby in the Hesse Cup; the Darmstadt first team will wear members' jerseys against SV Elversberg next Saturday (April 25th/8:30pm); and the Darmstadt VIP box has been temporarily converted into a yoga camp.

The end of an era. Fabian Holland's twelfth season in the Lilies' jersey will be his last with SV 98. The 35-year-old's contract, which expires at the end of the season, will not be renewed. The club informed Holland of this decision in a confidential meeting. Both club and player agree to focus entirely on achieving the best possible end to the season until the final match and that any plans for a farewell celebration will depend on how the rest of the season unfolds.
