Fortuna Düsseldorf - Hamburger SV
The team of Hamburger already has two wins against teams at the bottom of the table as a guest - Augsburg and Greuther Fürth. In this round Hamburger again is visiting a team, which is threatened by
relegation - Fortuna Dusseldorf. Hamburger`s defence is one of the strongest in the league as in five of their last seven league games they have not conceded a goal. However, the attack of the team is rather inefficient
so far. The statistics shows only 12 goals in 12 matches in the Bundesliga, but those 12 goals have brought the team a total of 17 points and the ninth position in the table. In comparison, the 6th-placed Hannover is also with 17 points.
Fortuna Düsseldorf is in a disastrous form - 5 losses and a draw out of the last 6 games. The team just fails to take advantage of good situations infront of the opponent's goal. The team has scored only 10 goals is the league.
Given the poor attacking performance of both teams and the strong defence of Hamburger, we can assume that in this match there won`t be a lot of goals.
Thorsten Fink has some serious problems with injured offensive players as he can not rely on the attacking midfielder Ivo Ilichevich and another 5 players. Marcus Berg will be the only reserve offencive choice available for Fink. In the Fortuna Düsseldorf
squad there are also major problems with injured players.
The most effective player on the team - the forward Dani Schahin misses this game. Furthermore, an even greater problem is the absence of the main central defender Stelios Malezas. He is still recovering from an injury and is not
100% fit to play. In the central zone - the starting defensive midfielder of Fortuna will also miss the match due to injury.
To sum up, for the home team there are three important players, which can not participate in the match against Hamburger - the central defender, midfielder and a forward.
