📋 Team News: Fortuna Dusseldorf

The Fortuna Dusseldorf boss Daniel Thioune will be happy not to have any fitness worries whatsoever before this game thanks to a fully injury-free squad available for selection.

We think that Fortuna could opt for a 4-1-4-1 formation for this one, utilising Florian Kastenmeier, Matthias Zimmermann, Jamil Siebert, Tim Oberdorf, Emmanuel Iyoha, Marcel Sobottka, Felix Klaus, Í. B. Jóhannesson, Shinta Appelkamp, Christos Tzolis and Vincent Vermeij.

📋 Team News: Eintracht Braunschweig

Due to a mostly available squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Eintracht Braunschweig gaffer Daniel Scherning to contend with. Yannik Bangsow (Shoulder injury) won’t be in action. The suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Jannis Nikolaou and Ermin Bicakcic.

We believe Braunschweig could decide to begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup using Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, Saulo Decarli, Robert Ivanov, Hasan Kurucay, Marvin Rittmüller, Fabio Kaufmann, Robin Krauße, T. Jóhann Helgason, Anton Donkor, Rayan Philippe and Johan Gómez.
