Heidenheim arrive at Merkur Spiel-Arena on Saturday for their Bundesliga 2 tie with Fortuna Dusseldorf. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
Fortuna Dusseldorf will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 0-1 Bundesliga 2 victory against Regensburg. It’s our opinion that Fortuna could kick off with a 4-4-2 system for this one, utilising Florian Kastenmeier, Matthias Zimmermann, Andre Hoffmann, Christoph Klarer, Michal Karbownik, Kristoffer Peterson, Marcel Sobottka, Jorrit Hendrix, Shinta Appelkamp, Dawid Kownacki and Emmanuel Iyoha.
Fortuna Dusseldorf manager Daniel Thioune will be grateful not to have any fitness concerns to speak of coming into this match thanks to a fully injury-free squad to choose from.
How Fortuna Dusseldorf could look versus Heidenheim
Heidenheim will go into the game after a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 win over Darmstadt in their previous game. It’s our belief that Heidenheim appear most likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Kevin Müller, Marnon Busch, Patrick Mainka, Tim Siersleben, Jonas Föhrenbach, Jan Schöppner, Lennard Maloney, Florian Pick, Denis Thomalla, Jan-Niklas Beste and Tim Kleindienst.
From a largely full-strength group of players, there is just a single fitness worry for the Heidenheim boss Frank Schmidt to be concerned about. Elidon Qenaj (Knee Injury) misses out for this game. Dzenis Burnic cannot play in this game through suspension.
