HSV once again relies on Königsdörffer and Downs

In front of Daniel Heuer Fernandes, Polzin opts for a back three consisting of Nicolas Capaldo, Luka Vuskovic, and Jordan Torunarigha. The left-footer is preferred over Daniel Elfadli after a strong performance against Gladbach. On the wing-back positions, Bakery Jatta and Miro Muheim are once again in the starting eleven.

The situation in attack is more interesting: Alongside midfield enforcer Nicolai Remberg, Fabio Vieira gets another start in the center. Sambi Lokonga, who recently struggled with calf problems, will have to settle for a place on the bench for now. The same applies to Jean-Luc Dompé, whose spot on the left wing will be taken by youngster Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit.
