Fortuna Dusseldorf faces a tough six-pointer this weekend at home against Hertha Berlin and Alfredo Morales will need to be influential for the Bundesliga side.

Friday’s showdown sees the two teams only six points apart with only 11 matches remaining this season. A win for Dusseldorf could see them jump out of the relegation playoff spot prior to 15th place Mainz’s date with Paderborn. Morales has made 18 league appearances for Uwe Hosler’s side this season, scoring one goal and registering two assists. The 29-year-old brings physicality and good technical ability to the squad, which both could be important against a struggling Berlin side.

Elsewhere, Tim Ream and Fulham face Preston North End in EFL Championship play while Indiana Vassilev hopes to play a part in Aston Villa’s EFL Cup Final date with Manchester City at Wembley. Erik Palmer-Brown and Austria Wien seek a positive end to Bundesliga play with only two matches remaining. Ian Harkes and Dillon Powers will look to lead Dundee United to another league victory while Ventura Alvarado and Necaxa face Club America away from home.
