Prediction: 1-1
Hannover
Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hannover go head to head at Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is expected to be a close 2. Bundesliga encounter. Die Fortunen aim to build on a 2-1 win over Ulm, but Friday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Pejcinovic and Schmidt are pushing for a start after the duo scored off the bench at the weekend, while the likes of Klaus Sima Suso, Shinta Appelkamp, and Jamil Siebert remain in the recovery room.
Die Roten, on the other hand, did well to beat promotion hopefuls Hamburger SV 1-0 at home at the weekend, but defeating Dusseldorf at Merkur Spiel-Arena is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, the share of spoils is on the cards in this round 4 clash. Defender Marcel Halstenberg (illness) should be the only absentee in the away team.
