Die Lillien will try to defeat Roger Schmidt's side for the second time this season, taking advantage of some injuries suffered lately by Die Werkself.

The 2015-2016 Bundesliga season continues this Saturday with one of the most interesting clashes being held at Merck Stadion.

Darmstadt 98 will host Bayer Leverkusen for the second time ever, hoping to make an impression in front of their eager supporters. Die Lillien are just one win away from reaching the upper half of the table, while Bayer Leverkusen keeps fighting for the last Champions League spot with Schalke 04 and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Bayer Leverkusen is one win away from reaching the 10-win mark, while Darmstadt hopes to win its seventh game of the season.

Here's a quick look at how each team has performed this season.

Darmstadt

The hosts get to this game after collecting an away win against Hoffenheim. Dirk Schuster's crew has struggled to find consistency throughout the season, and they will rely on what Marcel Heller and Sandro Wagner can do up front to help their cause. Both players lead Die Lillien with six goals, and adding goals to their tally will certainly be appreciated by their supporters.

Bayer Leverkusen

Roger Schmidt's crew enters this game after being eliminated from the DFB-Pokal by Werder Bremen. Prior to that match, Die Werkself carried a five game streak without a loss, which included a 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich. Saturday's match will be particularly tough for the visitors, since their star striker, Javier "Chicharito" Hernández, will not be available. Hernández has scored 13 goals out of the team's 29 in the Bundesliga, and his contribution will be sorely missed by the red-and-black outfit.

Head to head

Darmstadt & Bayer Leverkusen have played four games against each other, with Die Werkself winning three of them. Nevertheless, their previous meeting this season ended up with Darmstadt shocking Leverkusen at BayArena 1-0.
