Who are Darmstadt?

Darmstadt are a Bundesliga side, but became one only recently.

They won promotion to Germany's top division last season, finishing second in 2. Bundesliga having been relegated in 2017.

They've pretty much found a home in the second division, playing just two years between 2015 and 2017 after 33 years out of the Bundesliga.

But hopes are high for this year.
