Prediction: 1-1
Dusseldorf
All eyes will be on Veltins Arena when Schalke and Fortuna Dusseldorf face each other in the 2. Bundesliga round 5. Die Knappen aim to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 loss at Regensburg, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at die Fortunen. Summer signing Simon Terodde, who has been the only bright star in Dimitrios Grammozis’ team this season, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
Dusseldorf, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs at the start of the season. Following a 2-0 loss at Nurnberg, Fortuna shared the spoils with Holstein Kiel at the weekend, with substitute Peterson scoring a late equalizer. The Sweden international is widely expected to return to the starting XI, meaning that Schalke defenders should have him at bay. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at Veltins Arena, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
