If they lose or draw this match, their chances of winning the league title will be reduced. To win this match, they must go all out with high-quality effort. After their last draw with Gladbach, Bayern Munich was able to close the point gap between them, which should pose a threat to their league title hopes. They still have a tough match against Bayern Munich, which will decide the league title; however, before that game, they must maintain their winning streak in order to earn maximum points in league matches.
As we have seen in the last few matches, although Leverkusen's players have performed well, they have to fight hard to win matches. A narrow 1-0 win over Augsburg. They won 3-2 against Leipzig and Leverkusen shared the points with Gladbach in the last match. Although Leverkusen's players are performing well, this team is having a lot of problems scoring goals. However, in the next match, the opponent Darmstadt is a relatively weak team. The last team in the points table is Darmstadt. Leverkusen will have no problem winning against such a team. Because Darmstadt's defense is weak. I would say Leverkusen will win this match by a big margin.
It must be admitted that the difficulties experienced by Leverkusen in achieving victory in the last few matches are due to the absence of several key players. There are around 6 players who are absent due to injury and several others are defending their respective national teams. I think Xabi is still lucky with the rotation options he currently has, where they are still able to maintain their unbeaten record. Therefore I feel that the previous draw against Monchengladbach is understandable, the absence of Boniface means that Leverkusen's front line is not as sharp as in the first half of the season.
On the other hand, I agree with you regarding Leverkusen chances in the next match, it is likely that Xabi fleet will easily beat Darmstadt and secure full points. On paper, the two statistics are like heaven and earth, that's what it looks like on the standings board, and I feel that next week is a good opportunity to re-affirm their position against Bayern Munchen. Apart from that, Darmstadt will most likely have to postpone their target of getting out of the degradation zone, they will become a point source for other teams this season.
