Hamburger SV vs 1. FSV Mainz 05 Prediction & Betting tips
In the penultimate Sunday game of the season comes a real relegation crime. The crippled Hamburger SV receives the Mainz, which is also threatened with descent. Only the better goal difference separates these two teams.
Hamburger SV :
After three defeats in series, the HSV does not seem to remain a stone on the other. Firstly, Markus Gisdol, a former coach, picked up three pros, including the ex-captain Djourou, to listen to the insults of a consultant. At the very least, they leave nothing untried in Hamburg and go into a descent training camp to prepare themselves mentally for the crime on Sunday against Mainz. But who is surprised that the alarm bells in the reds loudly shrieked after the defeat in Nordderby, which they gave after 0: 1 lead, then lost it against the table-closing light SV Darmstadt and on the previous day also against descended Augsburger, As they were 4: 0.
If they go so far, they will not get away from the relegation place and this time possibly the stadium clock finally come to a standstill, because the possible opponents, Hannover, Union Berlin or Eintracht Braunschweig are also not any teams against which one in the advance. The remaining program does not seem to give any free points. The next opponent Mainz is also concerned about naked survival in the Bundesliga, afterwards they have to FC Schalke, who still has ambitions on the international squares to get a real showdown against the VfL Wolfsburg on the last day of the match They also hang in the descent and will not give HSV anything.
The following players will not be able to compete on Sunday against Mainz: Djourou (optional), Götz (optional), Bahoui (optional), Ekdal (muscle bundle rupture), N. Müller (inner tear in knee)
In addition, Abwehrcheff Papadopoulos had to break off the training on weekdays, also for him it does not look good. At least the substitute keeper for Eagles, Mathenia was able to co-train again and should be in the box on Sunday. In addition, five reds are on the fourth yellow card and they are threatened with the next card.
Mathenia – Diekmeier, K. Papadopoulos, Mavraj, Ostrzolek – G. Sakai, Jung – Hunt, Holtby, Kostic – Wood
1. FSV Mainz 05 :
The situation with the Mainzers is not much better. Only the better goal difference separates the two clubs and they can be a little more self-confident than the Hanseatians, because of the last three games they won four points, including an eighth success with the record holder when the game ended 2-2 draw. On the previous day they had to put a damper again. Although they were struggling in the home game against the foals, they had to be defeated in the end with 1: 2.
The rest program does not necessarily promise something good either. The Mainz side, which is not yet known as a side-game, have yet to go to the HSV on Sunday and on the last day of the match to the 1. FC Köln, where they are still known for the Euroleague and in between they receive the Frankfurt Eintracht, which is not exactly the lightest opponent will be.
Coach Schmidt must definitely do without the following players on Sunday: F. Müller (Hüft-OP), Bussmann (Aufbaustraining), Berggreen (Aufbaautraining). Latza also threatens to fail.
Huth – Donati, Bell, Hack, Brosinski – F. Frei, Latza – Öztunali, Bojan, De Blasis – Cordoba
