Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor will host Sunday’s football game between Darmstadt and Fortuna Dusseldorf. The Lilywhites are eyeing a quick return to the German elite division, but the season is quite long. The likes of Merveille Papela, Luca Marseiler, Sergio Lopez, Paul Will, and Fynn Lakenmacher have joined permanent deals with the club as well as goalkeeper Karol Niemczyski.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, did well to beat Ipswich Town 2-1 in their last warm-up game, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Darmstadt, who have turned their Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor into a real fortress. As important Dusseldorf attacker is no longer part of the team, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. In their last meeting at the venue Darmstadt defeated Dusseldorf thanks to Patric Pfeiffer’s goal and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
