On Friday afternoon, two promotion candidates, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hamburger SV will face off in the 25th round of the 2. Bundesliga at Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf.
Fortuna Dusseldorf finished the last season 4th, but not too close to the promotion playoff, considering they were eight points away from the 3rd placed HSV. This year, Fortuna started the season pretty well and are hanging just outside of the top three spots. Yes, they are in 7th place right now, but there is only a one-point difference between them and the 4th-placed Hannover and a four-point difference between them and the desired 3rd place. With a win over the 3rd-placed HSV, Fortuna would take a massive step forward in securing that playoff spot. Also, Fortuna did great in the Cup, reaching the Semi-Finals, where they will face off against Germany's best team this season, Bayer Leverkusen.
Hamburger SV are one of the biggest clubs in Germany. Until the 2017/18 season, they were one of the teams that had never been relegated from the Bundesliga. Since then, they are trying to get back to Germany's top-flight division. Even though they are constantly close, they are continually failing. This year, they are once again one of the favorites to go up and are currently just two points away from the second place and the direct promotion.
Fortuna Dusseldorf vs Hamburger SV pick: Over 3.5 goals
Fortuna are the second-best team for this type of bet in the league, with 13 of 24 games (55%) finishing with four or more goals. They are excellent offensively, and with 2.08 per game, they are the best offensive team in the league. Also, they have scored two goals per game in four of the last five matches. However, their defense has been far from great, and they had only one clean sheet in the last 11 games in all competitions.
HSV have been inconsistent since the Winter break. But away from home, for some reason, they are playing their best football and have scored two goals per game in all three games since the break. Additionally, they have scored at least two goals in the last seven road games in all competitions.
In the previous h2h game at Merkur Spiel-Arena, we saw a 2:2 draw. Considering all the above, we could easily see another high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.

Fortuna Dusseldorf team news
The team has massive injury problems. The newest name on the injury is a key central defender, Jordy de Wijs. The 29-year-old Dutchman started in 92% of Fortuna's games in the league.
Besides Wijs, another two key central defenders, Jamil Siebert and Andre Hoffmann, will also miss the game with injuries, so the coach, Daniel Thioune, will have a big problem at the back.
Emmanuel Iyoha, Marcel Sobottka, Sima Suso, Daniel Bunk, and Shinta Appelkamp should remain sidelined, too.
