Football : German Bundesliga
Friday 5th April 2013 – Kickoff time 20:30

Match Preview :

Hoffenheim have brought in Markus Gisdol in a bid to save them from being relegated. Gisdol's first task will be to get full points when his side entertain another side battling against relegation in the form of Fortuna Dusseldorf.

Interestingly, Gisdol will be the fourth coach to manage the side after Markus Babbel, Frank Kramer and Marco Kurz were previously sacked by the club due to poor performances. Fortuna are one place above the drop zone and nine points ahead of Hoffenheim and this match is vital if they are to avoid being relegated come end season.

Hoffenheim lost their last game to Schalke 3-0 in a game where they failed to even make their presence felt as the statistics showed they had 43% control of the ball, one shot on goal and 3 in total.

Their home record has not been good, with just 3 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats. With 25 goals conceded at home in 14 games, they also hold the distinction of being the worst defence at home in the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, with six games to go, a win for Fortuna would see them ease their relegation fears as they are just above the bottom three and five points ahead of Hoffenheim.

However, their recent form has been poor as they have failed to win any of their last five games coming into this match. Last week they lost at home against Bayer Leverkusen going down 1-4!

Their away form is poor with a 2 wins, 3 draws and 8 defeats under them. In their last ten away games they only managed to collect two points.

Coach Norbert Meier said:
"We are now on the final straight of the season. It may not be Hoffenheim's very last chance, but a defeat for them would leave them on a slippery slope, on the other hand, we have the chance to distance ourselves further from a direct rival."

Predictions :

Go for Hoffenheim and give the 1/2 ball here.
