SV Darmstadt 98 is facing Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, with Bayern Munich aiming to close the distance with Bayer Leverkusen in the standings.

In terms of tactics, Darmstadt has shown a strong defensive performance so far. They have been successful in inviting Bayern to attack them and have been sitting deep to counter their opponents. This approach has proven effective for Darmstadt, as they have been able to hold their own against strong teams.

On the other hand, Mainz took a different approach in their match against Bayern last weekend. They tried to go toe to toe with Bayern, but it ended up costing them dearly as they suffered an 8-1 defeat. This result highlights the importance of having a solid defensive strategy when facing a powerhouse like Bayern.

Overall, Darmstadt’s defensive tactics have been key to their success, while Mainz’s more aggressive approach backfired on them. It will be interesting to see how these teams adjust their tactics in future matches to continue their respective campaigns in the league.
