Dear Fortune,
Dear Dresden residents,
Dear other guest readers
Tomorrow SC Dynamo Dresden will meet the Düsseldorf gymnastics and sports club Fortuna 1895 e. V.
The location of the spectacle will be the Rudolf Harbig Stadium in the Saxon state capital. The hosts were happy to be promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga last season and are currently in 14th place, although the air is now very thin. After the last 5 defeats in a row, they are certainly trying to score again (several times). And since you certainly want to show second division football again in the next season, you should certainly work out something against the somewhat knocked Fortuna. The home balance of the Dresdeners with 3 wins and 3 defeats is just as balanced as the away balance of Fortuna. Otherwise, the statistics point to a game at eye level.
Despite all the numbers games, most fortunes should think of an away trip to the east with a good feeling. On April 28, 2018, Fortuna won 2-1 and was thus able to secure promotion to League 1. Fortune would probably have no objection to this result. In general, expectations on the Rhine have dropped a little. The direct re-ascent was only played upstairs and now please don’t slide in below. But since the second division is still tight, with a win you could even push yourself back into areas where you could stealthily squint upwards. However, there is still a lot of trouble at Fortuna, especially since Hoffmann, an important man on the defensive, will be out for a long time. Therefore, Preusser will once again have to fall back on the youth research duo Klarer-Oberdorf.
It is all the nicer that Pledl celebrated a remarkable comeback last week. At least nobody can complain that we are missing the alternatives on the wings. “Emma” is also back and could have earned a place in the squad with his good performance in the friendly.
But no matter which staff: The team around Preusser has to deliver! The last games weren’t very convincing. Far too often, basic virtues such as tackling and passing sharpness were completely missed. Here you will see whether the international break has been used well. The fact that with Hennigs, Sobottka and possibly Bodzek up to three players, including a goalscorer, from the game from 2018 will be back on the field, I now see as a good omen. If, unlike the annoying 1: 1 draw against Hanover before the international break, the team is on the pitch for a full 90 minutes, then … well, look!
What is left to say now? Not much, actually, except: Forza Fortuna!
