Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
After suffering a 1-0 loss to Darmstadt at the weekend, Hannover will look to get back on course in 2. Bundesliga when they face Fortuna Dusseldorf on Tuesday evening. Die Roten have already recorded four wins at home ground this term, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Defender Phil Neumann is banned for the match, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the German second tier, only one point behind the playoffs berth. The visitors managed to keep a clean sheet in two of their last three league games, and seeing that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of Hannover’s last four 2. Bundesliga matches, a low-scoring affair is on the horizon. All Ao Tanaka, Nicolas Gavory, Jordy de Wijs, and Daniel Ginczek miss out with injuries for the away team.
