Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Fortuna Dusseldorf play host to Holstein Kiel at their Merkur Spiel-Arena in what is expected to be an interesting 2. Bundesliga game. Dusseldorf did well to crush Schalke (5-3) and Nurnberg (5-0) in the previous two league matches, with the team eliminating Magdeburg in the DFB Pokal last 16 and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against Kiel. All Emmanuel Iyoha, Marcel Sobottka, Matthias Zimmermann, and Andre Hoffmann are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The visitors have been scoring goals for fun of late as well and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. The likes of Timo Becker, Marvin Schulz, and Marco Komenda should miss out through illness, while all Carl Johansson, Aron Fridjonsson, and Thomas Dahne remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Dusseldorf):
Founded on May 5, 1985, Fortuna Dusseldorf are a German side that compete in Bundesliga . The Fingeraner welcome their rivals at their Espirit Arena, the venue that was opened in 2004. The capacity of the stadium is 54,600, but the venue did not host 2016 FIFA World Cup games.
Fortuna Dusseldorf play home games in red shirts and red shorts, with the team wearing white shirts with red stripes and white shorts on the travels. The club did well to win the Western German championship in 1931 and two years later they lifted the trophy in the German championship, which is considered their biggest success.
Speaking of the German Cup, Fortuna Dusseldorf won the DFB-Pokal twice (1979, 1980), while making it to the final of the competition in 1937, 1957, 1958, 1962 and 1978. The likes of Paul Janes, Anton Turek, Stanislaus Kobierski, Klaus Allofs, Ernst Albrecht and Erich Juskowiak are some of notable footballers who played for the Fingeraner in the past.
