The home side has collected only 6 Points and stand before an important game but this can be a very tricky one because Bielefeld is one of 4 teams who had lost only 1 of their 10 matches. But they played to often draw and therefore not much advantage for them according to the results they got. Despite the results they are on a good way, their main goal is to avoid relegation anyway while Düsseldorf give out a new season goal with reaching 40 Points and stay away from relegation battle under the week.
Fortuna Coach Kramer stands under huge pressure before the match today, he needs results otherwise he is very close to be fired. Nevertheless he is very positive for todays game and he mentioned that he has a lot of respect but he wants to win with his team and break the unbeaten away run from Bielefeld. He counts on a good organized and well balanced team which should be able to find the right solutions in all the actions on the pitch.
Compared to the match before the break he plans a lot of changes. Both wings can be field with quick players like Bolly and Sararer, both should help to get some faster actions created. Above all Bolly is their main hope after returning from injury. In the middle may play Demirbay who should support Ya Konan or Pohjanpalo or maybe both. The defensive line is very open right now. Of course keeper Rensing and defender Haggui are sure to start, beside Haggui are all positions open. According to the absent from Bellinghausen they need a new back wing, Holthaus and Schmitz are candidates there although Schmitz can play in central midfield as well. On the right back wing could Schauerte not convince much in the past what let Akpoguma hope for a starting place. In central back had Strohdiek not the best arguments recently what brings Bodzek back into the lineup. He had some very good friendly matches and showed his Coach that he is the better alternative there. Before the defensive line they have with Koch, Sobotta, Schmitz and Fink a lot to choose.
It is the return from former Düsseldorf Coach Meier, he had a great time there with a lot of success but this is gone as he mentioned. His main focus is Arminia now and he wants the best possible outcome for his team. It is not an easy match for his team and he said that the situation is worse in Düsseldorf at the moment and no one has expected so a bad start for Fortuna. The squad is one of the best in the league and therefore they should be warned.
The starting lineup can be a bit different compared to the game against 1860 Munich 1-1 before the national break. Sure not available are Brinkmann and Müller, both face injuries while Salger, Hemlein, Schütz, Junglas and Burmeister are doubtful what means they face a late test if they can play or not. On Thursday it looks like that Junglas and Burmeister are not ready. If all the others are ready it may can be that Salger plays on his main position in central back, Schütz returns then on the position before the defensive line beside Behrendt after his absent against 1860. Hemlein of course begins on the offensive wing, he was one of the most active players against 1860 and gave the assist for Klos’s goal. On the other wing Coach Meier is still searching for the right player, Mast played against 1860 there but was substitute at half time already and Affane took over. He is maybe the player who will be trust from Meier.
Both teams had successful friendly matches in the national break and showed that they are on good shape. Düsseldorf could beat Standard Lüttich 3-2 what should them give some self confidence and motivation back. The offensive play was much better compared to lastest games what give them a lot of hope today additionaly. On the other side could Bielefeld bring their offensive motor rolling with scoring 10 goals against a lower division team, above all Klos with 5 and Nöthe with 2 goals showed their killer instinct.
I am absolutely sure that Düsseldorf is not going the third match without scoring a single goal the offensive play improved in the break while Bielefeld is a team who is very overish away from home. They like to play on the road and scored a lot lately but conceded as well. The counter style is their preferred game and we can expect a few goals then.
