On Thursday the 29 of April, will happen the second leg of the semi-final of the UEFA Europe League between Fc Fulham and Hamburger SV.
In the German Bundesliga the guests form Hamburg lost both of there last games. The biggest defeat was on Sunday against Hoffenheim with a final score of 5:1. Now Bruno Labbadia is not coaching the team anymore and the technique coach form the Netherlands, Ricardo Moniz will manage the team against Fulham. In Germany there are just two rounds to play before the season is over and at the moment the Hamburger SV is just on the 7th place and they can't reach an international qualifying place. In the attack the Germans had many problems in the first game, because Fulham was very defensive. So they have to score in London if they want to reach the final, but they also must be very careful because Fulham plays a good football in there own stadium. For example Fulham won against Juventus with 4:1 at home although they had lost the first game with 3:1. It is very important to reach the final because in this season the final will be played in Hamburg an they can win the Europe League in there own stadium.
In the premier League Fulham is now on the 12th place and they have the same problems as the guests form Hamburg to reach an international qualifying place. If Fulham wins against Hamburg it would be the second German club which was eliminated from Fulham. The final of the Europe League could also be very special for Fulham because they could play against Liverpool. But if the want to reach the final the must win today.

Hamburger SV:Marcell Jansen and Tunay Torun, Piotr Trochowski is booked
