The club from Hamburg showed that they are able to compete with the top Teams, they beat Freiburg and Leipzig already and was very close to win against Bochum one week ago too. Despite their good performances and good form right now Coach Lienen was warning his team from bottom team Düsseldorf. The squad from Düsseldorf is excellent and maybe one of the best in League but they have some problems right now but should not be underestimated.
Compared to the last match in Bochum Lienen trust his starting lineup again, maybe only one changes must be made as Kalla had some problems this week and could not train much. This means that Maier who had some problems in the past are moving into the starting lineup as he is fit now. Additional Lienen gets more options as with Gonther returns already an option for the central back and got some minutes against Bochum already while midfield player Alushi should return after the national break. Gonther is no option from beginning on anyway because with Sobiech and Ziereis Lienen is very pleased and his defensive line is very strong and hard to beat anyway.
Fortuna got some hope back in relegation battle, could they win 2 of their last 3 matches and also in Leipzig 1-2 they were not without any chance. The biggest problem is that they got the victories at home and away from home they had always problems in the past. With only 3 Points collected out of 7 matches, no win, it is hard to be positive and get out with a lot of self confidence. Also they should not take a look back to last in Hamburg where they got trashed with 4-0 from St. Pauli. Moreover they expect a very hot atmosphere where all in the stadium are against them. Keeper Rensing said that this is motivation enough for him and his team mates should accept this additional and get out some positive power for the game.
Coach Kramer wants to field the same lineup which got the win against Fürth but important fighter Bellinghausen is a doubt at the moment. If he must pass, two options are possible to replace him. First one is a big move in team, Schauerte move from the right to the left back wing while central midfield player Koch takes the postion on the right back wing. Bodzek move from central back forward into the midfield while Madlung comes new in the starting lineup and plays in central back. The second one is only a position to position change with Schmitz but he was not in the squad recently.
The team from Hamburg St. Pauli has managed a big turnaround. They were in relegation battle last Season and move into a real promotion candidate at the moment. Coach Lienen has done great work so far. He counts on a very compact and clever playing team. The defensive work is excellent and they are very hard to beat and to play too. At home they are very strong and with their excellent supporters in back they are always able to find some way to win matches. Düsseldorf on the other side have a lot of problems this Season although they have a very good squad. Coach Kramer has not found the right mix so far also the balance between offensive and defensive is not the best. In offensive they do really hard and they score very less. The offensive play must be improved if they want to win matches on the road.
We trust the more inform team from Hamburg here with a lot of self confidence and motivation. Also the home factor should be considered as big advantage for them additional. We trust one of the best home teams today !!!
PICK: FC St. Pauli AHC -0,25 @ 2,02 (3 Units / Flat Stake)
