Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Hamburger SV Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in German 2.Bundesliga on Friday, 31 March 2023.
Dusseldorf are one of the best teams in the competition based on recent form. They are placed fourth in the table, and need a surplus of just seven points to climb into third spot.
And it helps their cause that they are pitted against the third-placed Hamburger, who are currently going through a rather poor stretch of performances.
Contrary to current form, Hamburger registered a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture. But one thing that needs to be noted is that the Dusseldorf have an unbeaten record at this venue that stretches back more than three decades.
Dusseldorf have a 100% winning record at home after November, barring their draw against the second-placed Heidenheim. And all along they did score goals in plenty.
On the other hand, Hamburger have just two wins from their last six fixtures, and won just once on the road after October. And this sole win came against the 17th placed squad.
On top of all that, the hosts have an unbeaten h2h record at this venue going back to 1989.
By all means, Dusseldorf have the edge this weekend.
Dusseldorf scored two or more goals in all but one appearance at home after November. They even scored five goals in their latest fixture, which was on the road.
Meanwhile, Hamburger let in four goals in their latest road trip.
It certainly looks like goals are coming in plenty this Friday.
In spite of their impressive form, Dusseldorf have a single clean sheet at home since November, and they also lost the reverse fixture. After all, Hamburger are the third-placed team in the table. It is expected that goals will come from either end of the pitch.
Dusseldorf have a perfect winning record at home since November, disregarding a single draw. And this draw came against the second-placed Heidenheim.
