Prediction: 2-0
Dusseldorf
HSV and Fortuna Dusseldorf square off against each other at Volksparstadion in what is expected to be a very exciting 2. Bundesliga game. Hamburger SV have been climbing the standings week by week, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to secure automatic promotion to the German top flight. All Maximillian Rohr, Tom Mickel, Josha Vagnoman, and Stephan Ambrosius are out of contention through injuries.
Fortuna, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Paderborn. Die Fortunen have been producing fine displays on the road of late, but seeing that HSV are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. All Matthias Zimmermann, Dawid Kownacki, Emmanuel Iyoha, and Thomas Pledl are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
