Prediction: 1-2
Dusseldorf
Unterhaching and Fortuna Dusseldorf square off against each other at Alpenbauer Sportpark in what will be their first meeting in a competitive match since February 2009. Back then Unterhaching defeated Dusseldorf 2-1 in the 3. Liga, but the visitors are seen as favourites to win the midweek clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be experienced forward Patrick Hobsch, who scored a brace in a 3-0 win over Mannheim.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, have been producing excellent performances in the German second tier of late, with the team outplaying both Kaiserslautern (4-3) and Eintracht Braunschweig (4-1) in the previous two league matches. Dusseldorf are more of a team than Unterhaching and we predict that the 2. Bundesliga side will prove their worth on the field. The likes of Ginczek, Hoffmann, Zimmermann, and Appelkamp miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
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.
