Dusseldorf vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
Düsseldorf – Union, which in this form is not necessarily to be expected top game of the fifth game day. The fact that 1. FC Union Berlin is back in the lead after fourth place at the end of the season and has eight points after four rounds is not a big surprise, but Fortuna Düsseldorf was not necessarily a leader at this time. Now a real hardening test awaits the Rhinelanders.
Twenty-four times, both clubs have faced each other so far. With ten wins at five draws and nine defeats, Union has the minimal better statistics. In Düsseldorf, however, the Iron team lost six times in four victories and two draws.
Dusseldorf :
In the preparations for Fortuna Düsseldorf, the defeat in the heat tests against Brighton & Hove Albion (0: 2) and Sporting Charleroi (0: 2) was not optimal, and the 2: 2 against Eintracht Braunschweig on the start of the season was a convincing performance , On the second day, however, the Fortuna showed up very well and won 2: 0 at Erzgebirge Aue. In the DFB Cup, their next success on third place, followed by a 3: 1 win over Arminia Bielefeld, was confirmed by coach Norbert Meier, who also beat FC Kaiserslautern 2-0. Before the international match, SV Sandhausen scored a later but not undeserved 2-1 win. In the break, the Landesligist TSV Meerbusch was defeated 7: 2 and then the Oberligist TuRU Düsseldorf 2: 1.
With Ihlas Bebou, the Fortuna lost a top performer shortly before the transfer, but in return, Takashi Usami and Benito Raman had doubled the double. The squad is thus very well placed and offers many options. Open whether the one in Sandhausen with a ribbed break-out trunk kicker Michael Rensing can play again.
Provisional lineup: Wolf – Ayhan, Hoffmann, Gießelmann – Zimmer, Schmitz – Sobottka – Neuhaus, Fink – Hennings, Nielsen
Union Berlin :
The 1. FC Union has played an outstanding preparation, in which all eight test games were won. And also the season start managed the Iron, which in the highly rated FC Ingolstadt a 1: 0 victory landed. Subsequently, in a turbulent match, Union celebrated a last-deserved 4: 3 home win against Holstein Kiel and moved into the second round in the DFB Cup with a painful 2-1 win after extra time at 1. FC Saarbrücken. In the top game at 1. FC Nürnberg, Union already looked like the winner, but conceded then just before the end still the 2: 2. And before the international match, coach Jens Keller would have to contend with Arminia Bielefeld (1: 1) at home with a rather disappointing 1: 1. Last week, a B-team from Hertha BSC was beaten 2-0 in a test match, before most of the Union’s players participated in the farewell match between Torsten Mattuschka and Karim Benyamina during the weekend.
The Toni Leistner, who had fought against Bielefeld, should be fit again and start. New entry Atsuto Uchida and the previously injured Akaki Gogia are also options, but initially intended for the bank. It is unlikely that only the suspended Grischa Prömel and Kenny Redondo will be injured.
Provisional lineup: Busk – Trimmel, Torrejon, Leistner, Pedersen – Kroos, Kreilach – Hartel – Skrzybski, Hedlund – Polter
