Memories will start flooding back for Fortuna Düsseldorf when they face Hannover 96 in the second round of the DFB Cup on Wednesday at 18:00 CEST. However, these memories aren’t too positive. Fortuna lost 3-0 to Hannover in 2013 in their previous meeting and were relegated from the Bundesliga. Now the teams are fighting for a place in the last 16.
Fortuna are in good form at the moment. They are unbeaten in three, including impressive wins against 1860 München (3-1) and Arminia Bielefeld (4-0). Hannover, meanwhile, have lost their last two matches 2-0 against FC Nürnberg and 2-1 to Union Berlin. The club, however, are staying positive. “We have to turn our form around, ideally this week in the DFB Cup,” says Hannover midfielder Marvin Bakalorz.
