Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Greuther Furth, Fortuna Dusseldorf will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Hamburger SV in the 2. Bundesliga round 8. Danile Thioune’s troops made a promising start to the season and they are surely capable of matching die Rothosen in front of home fans. Barring any fresh injury worries, Thioune is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Cloverleaves.
HSV, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late. As Hamburg have netted 13 goals in total in the last four league matches, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals Both Fabio Balde and Lukasz Poreba miss out through illness for the visiting team, while the opposition back-line should have Robert Glatzel at bay as the 30-year-old has already netted five goals this term.
Highlighted Team (Dusseldorf):
Founded on May 5, 1985, Fortuna Dusseldorf are a German side that compete in Bundesliga . The Fingeraner welcome their rivals at their Espirit Arena, the venue that was opened in 2004. The capacity of the stadium is 54,600, but the venue did not host 2016 FIFA World Cup games.
Fortuna Dusseldorf play home games in red shirts and red shorts, with the team wearing white shirts with red stripes and white shorts on the travels. The club did well to win the Western German championship in 1931 and two years later they lifted the trophy in the German championship, which is considered their biggest success.
Speaking of the German Cup, Fortuna Dusseldorf won the DFB-Pokal twice (1979, 1980), while making it to the final of the competition in 1937, 1957, 1958, 1962 and 1978. The likes of Paul Janes, Anton Turek, Stanislaus Kobierski, Klaus Allofs, Ernst Albrecht and Erich Juskowiak are some of notable footballers who played for the Fingeraner in the past.
