Fortuna Düsseldorf: Emma Iyoha plans victory premiere

It is Fortuna Dusseldorf last chance with a win again a word in the promotion race 2nd Bundesliga to have a say!

But one thing is clear: the third from Hamburg must be beaten on Friday by the fourth in Düsseldorf, seven points behind (6.30 p.m. / Sky).

For the big promotion dream – Iyoah plans the victory premiere!

The only real Dusseldorfer in the Fortuna squad has never experienced a win over Hamburg as a professional. Emma Iyoha (25) admits: “There were four draws and one defeat. Now would be a great time to win over Hamburg.” Because even with Kiel, when he was on loan, it was only enough for two draws…

Fortuna is also still without a win against HSV in the second division: there were 3 draws and 2 bankruptcies.

It is almost a miracle that Düsseldorf can still dream of being at the top despite nine defeats. Iyoah: “A game like this is a reward in front of over 50,000 fans in the second division. That’s nice for every player. We’re in good spirits and we want to win!”

Otherwise even the small dreams of advancement will have burst. Two weeks ago there was only a 1-1 draw against second Heidenheim. Iyoah: “Now we can show that we can do better!”

Düsseldorf’s big problem this season is that there hasn’t been a win against one of the top three teams yet. The leader from Darmstadt is coming to the arena for the next home game (April 16/1:30 p.m./Sky). If there is a victory over Hamburg beforehand, then the hut is full again.

Kownacki is missing

Top scorer Dawid Kownacki (25) was absent from Tuesday’s training session. The Pole should be back on the pitch on Wednesday after recovering from muscular problems. Goalkeeper Florian Kastenmeier (25) resumed training after a break due to a cold.
