Fortuna Düsseldorf - SC Freiburg

The start was very disappointing for Fortuna Düsseldorf with only 1 Point on their side after three matches. This means the pressure on them are high before the game as they need Points immediately if they do not want to remain the following weeks at the bottom. Therefore the only outcome for them is a win today. On the other side had Freiburg a very good start but got trashed 1-3 at home last weekend. They want to bounce back today, what makes it a very interesting encounter. They should at least not lose here to fall behind much against the top. This game has normally BL style but they are far away right now. It is only a top match in 2.BL now.

The Coach from Düsseldorf Kramer has said that this is a very difficult match for them today. They face an opponent with a lot of quality and they are one of the top promotion candidates additional. Therefore it is to see what big team arrive in Düsseldorf today.
Nevertheless they have to go for the three Points and why not be able for a surprise here, above all in their Arena where the fans are pushing them very hard the whole game. The starting lineup is a bit open right now, but possible is an 4-2-3-1. With this they played against Heidenheim 0-1 last weekend and it was not such bad. Very open is also if Liendl who has contact to 1860 Munich stay in Düsseldorf, maybe this is his last game for Fortuna. He starts central behind the attacker, behind him should Bodzek and Koch bring more stability in the midfield and also the defensive play. For Bodzek must attacker Pohjanpalo on bench last weekend. This time the training sessions were very good and he can hope for a place in starting lineup. Because Ya Konan has some problems with injury this week and allow him not to train much. This put Pohjanpalo back into the starting lineup maybe.
Both wings could not convince too, therefore Sararer and Bolly can be replaced. Some of the crowd hero Bellinghausen is ready and he is always able to push and make some noise with his actions. It should be a very good sign for Kramer here to bring the fans behind the team more and more.

The team from Freiburg arrive to Düsseldorf with some hope to recover after last weekend. But Coach Stretch said that they should be very careful against a team who has also a lot of potential, the only thing what was not their way, was the results. They must be focused on this game and have all their power ready to be an even opponent in this hot atmosphere.
The lineup is a bit different compared to the last one against Bochum. With Torrejon and Mujdza they miss two players from defensive line suspended. Half of the defensive line must be changed and this is not an easy task because with replacement Kübler is an defender not 100% ready according to his injury some weeks ago. The next replacement who played an offensive part last time Hedenstadt had also problems under the week with injury and it is a question mark if he can play here. Streich has to search for players who can help here and find the right balance with them on positions they never played before. With youngster Föhrenbach he has maybe found a guy, he should play beside Höhn in central back. Also possible is that Höfler move from midfield in central back to play there, the open place in midfield can be taken form captain Schuster who was on bench the last matches.
Their top striker Petersen was out early in the game against Bochum with slight injury but he is ready, also Philipp who had to pass against Bochum. This means the options in the offensive are there again and should help Freiburg for more power. The only miss in offensive is Kleindienst so far.
