HSV travel to Frankfurt: Grønbaek at left-back, Vuskovic in squad! | OneFootball

On Matchday 32, HSV travel to face seventh-placed Eintracht Frankfurt. We bring you the lineups for the clash at Deutsche Bank Park.

Can the Rothosen take advantage of the huge unrest surrounding SGE? As recently as Friday, head coach Albert Riera gave a memorable press conference, accusing some of the journalists present of spreading “lies” and “bullshit.” The Spaniard also spoke of a “poisoned” situation around the club.

So this Saturday, it is not only HSV who are under considerable pressure. While the team from Hesse desperately need points to improve the mood and strengthen their position in the European qualification battle with SC Freiburg, the Hanseatic side are still not safe.

After six matches without a win of their own, the newly promoted side want to turn things around and collect what could be crucial big points in the relegation battle. Their direct rivals St. Pauli and Wolfsburg, both not in action until Sunday, could temporarily be left eight and nine points behind respectively.

HSV once again with a front two

In front of Daniel Heuer Fernandes, HSV line up once again as they have in recent weeks with a back three of Nicolas Capaldo, Jordan Torunarigha and Warmed Omari. Defensive leader Luka Vuskovic, who recently returned to team training, has at least made it back into the squad after a three-week absence. In the wing-back positions, Merlin Polzin is placing his trust in Bakery Jatta and Albert Grønbaek. The versatile midfielder takes over on the left from the injured Miro Muheim.

In midfield, meanwhile, HSV are sticking with a tried-and-tested setup: ball-winner Nicolai Remberg is flanked by creative minds Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira. Up front, Polzin is once again relying on Ransford Königsdörffer and Robert Glatzel, who have recently started side by side on several occasions. Yussuf Poulsen and Jean-Luc Dompé have also returned to the squad, giving Frankfurt two more key players who could become important options off the bench.

The lineups at a glance:

Frankfurt: Zetterer, Knauff, Koch, Skhiri, Amenda, Brown, Höjlund, Larsson, Uzun, Kalimuendo, Burkardt

HSV: Heuer Fernandes, Jatta, Capaldo, Torunarigha, Omari, Grønbaek, Remberg, Lokonga, Vieira, Königsdörffer, Glatzel
