Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf, HSV will be aiming to climb to top position in the 2. Bundesliga table when they face Wehen on Saturday afternoon. Die Rothosen did well to break the deadlock in the last league match, with Laszlo Benes sealing the victory from the penalty spot, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure automatic promotion to the German top flight. Defender Mario Vuskovic misses out through suspension, while the likes of Anssi Suhonen, Sebastian Schonlau, and Noah Katterbach are out of contention with injuries.
The hosts, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last five league matches. Anyhow, HSV are more of a team than Wehen and we predict that the promotion hopefuls are going to prove their worth on the field. The likes of Florian Carstens, Ivan Prtajin, and Keanan Bennetts miss out with injuries for the home team.
