At Volksparkstadion stadium, the Sunny weather and 65 degrees Fahrenheit will create a perfect atmosphere to cheer on the home team. This match marks a long awaited opportunity to redeem a draw in the previous game as these teams last faced each other on March 31. With the crowd roaring, Flamengo shall look to reclaim their stronghold and secure 3 points.

L. Bénes Bags Yet Another Hat Trick at Volksparkstadion

Hamburg is in excellent form at Volksparkstadion with three wins and no losses in their last five matches. Averaging one goal apiece, they have been exemplary in attack at home, amassing a total of ten goals in their last five showings. Unfortunately, due to injuries to M. Muheim and I. Pherai, they may be missing potential contributors against their similarly ranked opponents, against whom they have been perfect this year, winning one and drawing zero. Such results have been bolstered by the impressive form of L. Bénes, who has scored four goals in the last three matches at Volksparkstadion. With him healthy and the team looking to build upon its prior successes, all indications point to Hamburg emerging with their fourth consecutive victory at home.

C. Tzolis Shines with Unstoppable Offense in Last 3 Matches

Fortuna Düsseldorf have been in phenomenal form on the road, having won 4 and drawn 1 in their last 5 away matches. Additionally, they are the top in the standings with 14 points from 7 matches, winning 4, drawing 2 and losing 1. Their last match ended victoriously over Hansa Rostock in the 2. Bundesliga with 3 - 1 score line. C. Tzolis, their star forward, has been instrumental in this run as he scored 1 goal in the previous match and has an impressive tally of 5 goals across all tournaments this season. Moreover, he has scored a whopping 4 goals in the past 3 encounters. With C. Tzolis healthy and ready to take the field, Fortuna Düsseldorf will be optimistic of improving their standings further.
