MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN

 

Dusseldorf came from behind twice in their last game against Greuther Furth to earn a point from a 3-3 draw to remain unbeaten on their own turf. Uwe Rosler’s squad surrendered an own-goal and lost winger Shinta Appelkamp to injury in the same sequence to give the visitors the early lead, but Dusseldorf recovered from 2-0 and 3-2 deficits and extend their eight-game unbeaten streak in league play.

 

Hamburg overcame a 2-0 deficit late in the first half to earn a 4-2 victory at Braunschweig. David Kinsombi got the first of his two goals in added time just before the halftime break to give the visitors a boost. Simon Terodde’s league-leading 17th goal equalized five minutes into the second half, setting the stage for Aaron Hunt and Kinsombi to put the finishing touches on a well-deserved win. Hamburg are unbeaten in their last seven league matches, winning six and drawing one, and have scored nine goals in their last two games.

 

Dusseldorf and Hamburg are two of the hottest teams in the league right now. While it’s hard to pick against Dusseldorf at home while they remain undefeated, Hamburg is showing its pedigree in recent weeks, threatening to run away with the league title. Stick with the hotter of the two hot sides and take Hamburg.

 

HEAD TO HEAD
