On Sunday, starting at 17:00, the Dusseldorf-Stuttgart match will be held in the 21st round of the Bundesliga, 2018-2019.
Stuttgart achieved only one success in the 5 straight encounters with Dusseldorf, and the tour ended with a white draw, 0-0.
The formation prepared by Friedhelm Funkel gives signs that he would go down with his feet on the ground, after the 4 consecutive Bundesliga victories, Dusseldorf has managed a single point in the last two stages. “White-red” are still quite calm, with 22 points in the ranking, but the last relegable place is only 7 points away. Dusseldorf has already lost 6 games on the Merkur Spiel-Arena and can not afford the wrong moves, especially with a lower opponent.
Stuttgart has achieved an important point in the ranking of the league, last round with Freiburg, score 2-2. The “Swabia” led by 2-1, but the guests equalized in the 94th minute. Stuttgart accumulates 15 points, being still at 3 points of the first band that is saved, Augsburg. Michael Reschke’s “Students” are ranked second in the standings of the disputed parties, being defeated eight times in the 10 matches this season.
Dusseldorf will try to get the 3 points to reach a total of 25, taking advantage of the almost desperate situation in the opponents’ team. At the same time, Stuttgart has always stood against the ranking neighbors.
Probable teams:
Dusseldorf: Rensing – Zimmermann, Ayhan, Zimmer, Hoffmann, Giebelmann – Stoger, Morales, Fink – Usami, Hennings
Stuttgart: Zieler – Insua, Kempf, Kabak, Pavard – Esswein, Zuber, Gentner, Baumgartl – Gonzalez, Donis
PREDICTION: Dusseldorf to win @ 2.15
