Rice and Ache bang their heads together in the air and both need to be dealt with promptly on the lawn.

Yellow card for Ludovit Reis (Hamburger SV)
Reis can’t control the ball in midfield, then comes too late against Christiansen and sens him from behind. That gives him a yellow card and since it’s his fifth, Reis will miss the last matchday in Sandhausen.

When the hosts make it into the final third again, the next goal is more than harmless. Muheim shoots well past the right from 23 meters.

HSV has never found the right approach to this game. There is a lack of calm and precision in the build-up, Fürth can always be a disruption.

20:43
Hamburg wants to playfully get out of the back against early attacking Fürth. In the end, Heuer Fernandes has to go for the long ball, but hardly hits the ball. So Julian Green can push for the cloverleaf and get a corner kick. But then it brings nothing.

20:41
The certainty that nothing more can happen seems to do the people of Fürth really good. The guests play very relaxed here and stand up to HSV properly.

Jean-Luc Dompé pulls into the box from the left and then falls spectacularly to the ground in a running duel with Griesbeck. However, without the Fürther having done anything to him. Accordingly, there is of course no penalty.

On the other side, Kittel pushes for the first time, but then weakly plays the stick pass towards Glatzel. Then Ludovit Reis takes care of the first degree. His left-footed shot from 25 yards rushes wide to the right.

Green’s half-high free-kick cross has no potential to pose a threat and is immediately defused.

The guests start briskly, are high and put HSV under pressure. Fürth gets a first free kick on the right wing.

The ball rolls! As usual, Hamburg will play in red shorts and white shirts, while Fürth will wear green and black.

The game’s referee is Sven Waschitzki-Günther. Martin Speckner and Fabian Maibaum are assisting on the sidelines and Johann Pfeifer is responsible for the video evidence.

Fürth recently proved that they have what it takes to annoy HSV with a 1-0 win in the first leg. Even in the last duel in the Hanseatic city, the cloverleaf got hold of a 0-0. Overall, after 15 competitive games, Hamburg is ahead in a direct comparison with five wins and three defeats.

The guests from Fürth have not won four times in a row. With the draws against Bielefeld and Braunschweig, however, the Franconians finally made enough to play second-rate again next season. Since Alexander Zorniger took over as coach after 13 matchdays, Fürth has scored 28 of his 38 points and appeared very stable, at least during phases. Zorniger has a clear plan to ensure that points can also be scored in the last away game of the season: “The willingness to run must be exceptionally good, the speed with which we act. Getting stuck in certain situations, not letting them play their game. Those are the tasks.”
19:46
After the disappointing appearances in Magdeburg and against Paderborn, the Rothosen recently found their way back to success with a convincing 5-1 away win in Regensburg. Since the competition also slipped up at the same time, Hamburger SV is suddenly back in the promotion race. “It’s about doing our homework. We’re well advised to win our games,” said coach Tim Walter on the PK about the game, adding: “It would be nice if the competition stumbled, but the only thing we do being able to do is being willing, when a misstep occurs, to take advantage of it.” The blunders of the competition didn’t materialize and so HSV really has to deliver today.
19:37
A quick look at the line-ups: There isn’t much to report at HSV because Tim Walter is sending exactly the same eleven into the race as last weekend. Meanwhile, there are two changes for the guests. Ragnar Ache and Luca Itter will start for Oussema Haddadi (not in the squad) and Lukas Petkov (bench).
19:31
Darmstadt 98 were promoted on Friday, 1. FC Heidenheim advanced at midday and St. Pauli reduced the gap to three points from behind. HSV is challenged in this home game and needs a win to keep the chance of direct promotion open. At least one point would be enough to make the relegation safe. The guests from Fürth, on the other hand, can go into the game without any pressure, because the Bielefeld draw against Paderborn means that the cloverleaf can no longer be relegated before the kick-off.
