In the last game of the year another real cracker awaits HSV. At the beginning of the second half of the season, they are against FC Schalke 04. With a win, HSV could recapture third place and distance themselves from the “Knappen” by up to three points. Coach Tim Walter relies on this starting XI: Johansson – Heyer, Vuskovic, Schonlau, Gyamerah – Meffert – Reis, Kittel – Jatta, Glatzel, Alidou
This is the third time in a row that Walter uses the same starting line-up.
