Prediction: 2-1
Karlsruher
Fortuna Dusseldorf will be aiming to build on a splendid 5-0 win over Elversberg when they face Karlsruher on Matchday 5. Fortuna quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Paderborn, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence and it is no wonder the hosts are seen as favourites to win Friday’s match. Both Andre Hoffmann and Marcel Sobottka remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Karlsruher, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Braunschweig, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Friday’s game. The opposition back-line should have experienced forward Fabian Schleusener at bay. All Tim Rossmann, Efe-Kaan Sihlaroglu, and Daniel OShaughnessy remain in the treatment room for the visiting team. Christoph Kobald misses out due to the lack of fitness.
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.
