Fortuna Düsseldorf - SV Sandhausen

Although Düsseldorf got a Point at Karlsruhe 1-1 on Tuesday they were not very pleased with because the performance was much weaker compared to the last away game in Bochum where they showed really good style of play and should have deserved much more as a Point there. Against Sandhausen who started very well with 3 wins in a row but waiting since 5 games for a win and fall down in second half of the table is Fortuna in a must win situation if they do not want to remain longer near relegation zone. After the first win against 1860 3-0 two weeks ago they want the second win in a row now.

Fortuna's Coach Kramer was very disappointed about the game in Karlsruhe. Moreover he was very angry about his team and he made a really hard video stadium from the game these days with his team. He hopes that his team has learnt something about this game for the encounter today. But the team is working hard on themselves therefore he can trust them anyway as he said in press conference.
The starting lineup was the same three times now and according to these three games they had really 2 good matches, only the last one was very disappointing what makes it not impossible that Kramer send the same lineup on the pitch again that they can recover. Also the tactic should be the same maybe a little bit more offensive minded because they play at home and has to be much more active. Sure in starting lineup is defender Strohdiek who made a big mistake against Karlsruhe and allowed them to equalize but he trust this guy and give him self confidence back. The next weak player was Bebou on the wing but there he has not alternative right now with the illness of Bolly. Maybe Pohjanpalo can play on the wing too but this it not the optimal position for him in an 4-2-3-1.

If you ask Sandhausen's Coach Schwartz you get an incredible answer about Düsseldorf. He mentioned before the game that Fortuna has the strongest squad form all 2.Bundesliga team right now. But they do not want to present some gifts there, no they want the three Points today. He made two changes in last game against 1860 1-1 with Zillner and Jovanovic who made the job very well because both were involved in the leading goal for them. But this is the 3 match in 7 days and he has to look for fresh players what is a clear reason for changes maybe. One of the candidates is Stolz, he had a very good training session and Schwartz was very happy and pleased with him. On the other side he has not many options left as with Zenga, Zellner, Vunguidica, Stiefler and Bouhaddouz are already a lot of players not available due to injury. In this case it can be also the same starting lineup as against 1860 Munich some days ago.

Two teams at almost at the bottom meet each other here. Both have different problems right now but they have also a lost a lot of power and this is their 3 match in 7 days what makes it not much easier for them. Düsseldorf has much more potential as they had brought on the pitch right now and they showed some uptrend lately while Sandhausen surprised to begin but are on an downtrend right now. With both teams legs are very tired we can see maybe a lot of mistakes in defensive what speaks clear for goals, both offensive lines are able to score. I trust them to bring home at least 3.
