The Bundesliga 2 clash at BWT-Stadion am Hardtwald on Sunday sees hosts SV Sandhausen do battle with Hamburg. Here is an update on the latest predicted line ups and news on player availability.
SV Sandhausen will be wanting a better result here following a 1-0 Bundesliga 2 defeat in their last game at the hands of Heidenheim. It seems likely that Sandhausen should opt for a 3-4-2-1 formation for this game featuring Patrick Drewes, Dario Dumic, Aleksandr Zhirov, Oumar Diakhite, Raphael Framberger, Philipp Ochs, Janik Bachmann, Chima Okoroji, A. Ömer El-Zein, Marcel Ritzmaier and Kemal Ademi.
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just a single fitness concern for the SV Sandhausen gaffer Gerhard Kleppinger to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust group of players. Dennis Diekmeier will miss out. Ineligible players who cannot play in this game through suspension are Ahmed Kutucu, Alexander Esswein and Erik Zenga.
How SV Sandhausen could look to play Hamburg
Hamburg head into the clash following a 2-1 Bundesliga 2 win with the downing of Greuther Furth in their most recent game. It’s our belief that Hamburg will likely play in a 4-1-2-3 system by sending out D. Heuer Fernandes, Moritz Heyer, Jonas David, Sebastian Schonlau, Miro Muheim, Jonas Meffert, Ludovit Reis, Sonny Kittel, Bakery Jatta, Robert Glatzel and Jean-Luc Dompe.
Hamburg boss Tim Walter has to choose a team with limited availability. Omar Megeed (Torn Ligament), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) and András Németh (Ankle Fracture) will not be playing here. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Ludovit Reis and Bakery Jatta.
