VfB Stuttgart – Fortuna Dusseldorf – As for this last match round in “cvajti”, it can be said that much more needed points the home team, who takes great fight to return to society the best and ahead of this round are in the group of three leading teams with same number of points, in contrast to that in Fortune center of the table equal to the difference score compared to the first three positions, and the relegation zone. It is interesting that both teams have five defeats, but the host still has ten points more, because they draw much less often than guests. In the first round of the continuation of the Stuttgart beat and broke a string of two losses by the end of the first leg. Count in the last round badly damaged at home and both are now in a series of five games without a win. In the first season of the count at home won Stuttgart with 1:0.
Stuttgart is the second part of the season came in determined to elections express return to the elite. That’s the goal, and from the start of the season, but it did not work very easily and just before the end of the first part of the Stuttgart played better and with a series of six matches without defeat, of which five were victories, broke the top three teams. In the end, again a little spoiled impression with two defeats, however, at the start of the second part won at home with comrades from St Pauli with 1: 0th It was a very tough match, because the home under the imperative of looking for points in the fight for survival, or the “Krauts” in the finish bare Manea came to three points.
It is interesting that Mane was not a starter and came in only at the beginning of the second half, and before that he had Zimmermann from the game due to injury. This winter has arrived and some reinforcements such as Onguene defender, midfielder Ofori, and striker Green, as he went stopper Sunjic. During the week the problems with the infringement had Baumgartl, but is likely to be ready for this tour. Instead Zimmermann could play Grgic, and Mane will certainly be a starter.
Probable lineups Stuttgart: Langerak – Groskreutz, Baumgartl, Kaminski, Insua – Grgic – Mane, Asano, Gentner, Green – Terodde
As he finished the first part of the season for Fortuna started and others, and that means very bad. In the last four games before the break remained without a win and typed, three draws and a defeat, and at the beginning of the second part of it is Sandhausen on home run over as many as 3: 0th In the three games before the break also did not give a goal, because in Dusseldorf forward and Nuremberg with 2: 0, while in the Erzgebirge Aue Wurzburger played 0: 0th It is interesting that some friendly matches in the meantime played very well, but what it’s worth when championship play poorly.
They brought a proven stopper A.Hoffmanna from Hanover, but he was injured and did not play in the last round. Coach Funkel is struggling with goalkeepers, because two injured, but the first one Rensing healthy and he defends. Played in the match against Sandhausen in formation with four at the back and is not proved to be a good move in terms of defense, while the attack remained equally harmless. It’s hard to say what kind of changes would now be able to do, but it is certain that it will be after the debacle at home.
Probable lineups Dusseldorf: Rensing – Schauerte, Madlung, Bormuth, Schmitz – Bodzek, Gartner – Ritter, Fink, Belinghausen – Hennings
