Fortuna Dusseldorf take on the visitors Hamburger in the round 26 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, March 31st at Merkur Spiel-Arena (Düsseldorf).
Fortuna are right behind today's rivals Hamburg, but is as much as 7 points behind, but the victory in this match will benefit the Dusselfdorians and, in general, the intrigue for a place in the playoffs. The hosts do not have the right to lose this match, and a draw will also be more likely to benefit Hamburg, so they are obliged to score and the match is expected at a high pace, especially since Fortuna is the team that does not scatter chances but confidently convert them. They lost only once in the last 7 matches, it was a 4:1 away defeat to Paderborn, but since then the Tiune team has not lost, they confidently won the last match against Hansa, defeating the opponent 2:5

Hamburger SV have only won twice in their last 6 matches in all competitions and have also won twice in their last 7 away league matches. Despite this, they are still fighting for promotion to the Bundesliga, if not directly then through the play-offs, there are definitely chances. The Citizens have the second-best attack in the league with 46 goals scored, but they also concede a lot, 30 goals in 25 league matches for a team that wants to return to the Bundesliga is a bit much. So it turns out that the average total in the matches of the guests is above the top three, but the teams played the last meeting with Holstein Kiel in a draw 0:0. Before that there was a defeat from Karlsruhe 4:2 and a victory over Nuremberg 3:0.
This is a must-win game for each of the parties and it promises to be productive, not only do the top 3 attacks in the league meet in a principle match that can turn everything upside down for both teams or vice versa, it is also a confrontation between the top 3 top scorers of the tournament. Despite the fact that a personal meeting earlier in the season in the ninth round ended with a victory for Hamburg only 2-0, I think that the total over in this match is the best bet, both teams are productive, both have motivation, the guests are tired of sitting on the road without victories, and the hosts need this victory as a breath of fresh air, especially since the most productive team of the championship is unlikely to play the second match in a row for a total under, we put it like this.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
