Will Simon Terodde score against his former employer?

The main focus in the opening game should undoubtedly be on goalgetter Simon Terodde, who moved from the opening opponent Hamburg to the Ruhr area in the summer. Last season, the 33-year-old scored 24 goals in 33 league games wearing the red pants. Now, exactly two months to the day after his last competitive goal for HSV, he could net his former employer for the first time.

Ideally, the Rothosen want to end up in the top two teams and qualify directly for the Bundesliga. For this, there were once again many changes on the transfer market.
Instead of Simon Terodde, who moved to Schalke, Robert Glatzel, who was last active in England, will now go hunting for goals. The North Germans also secured the services of Sebastian Schonlau, Jonas Meffert and Ludovit Reis, among others. All players who know this league and can help HSV straight away.
